[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 462855, member: 6546"] Thank you ladies! You know - sometimes I post things like this because I wonder whether I am out of line for being upset. I mean - who am I to question this well-respected doctor who SURELY knows more than I do about fibroids and all that stuff ? And now that I read some of your experiences....I have really begun to question this whole situation. I am also questioning the initial diagnosis of "fibroids" in the first place: I got a copy of the ultrasound report. From the sounds of it - they weren't even able to get a clear view of everything! The report describes a mass of "mixed echogenicity".... Now when I Google that term - mixed echogenicity does not appear in conjunction with a diagnosis of fibroid tumors....it instead is more likely to associated with benign cysts or CANCER. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now I am angry that we are talking about fibroids when we haven't even fully determined that it IS a fibroid, versus something much more scary. I hate, hate HATE that everything has to be such a fight. (And how scary for the people who do not know how to advocate for themselves!) [/QUOTE]
