272.	C.L	London	I was disappointed that nothing could be done about my fibroid symptoms and pain in the UK. I had private Uterine Fibroid Embolisation treatment in Australia and have not suffered the same extreme pain as a result. The treatment has also allowed me to carry my son full term and have a normal pregnancy. I do not think I would have been able to have a child had I not had the procedure. More research needs to be carried out so that more women like myself are able to reduce or stop the symptoms of fibroids, as well as have the opportunity to have a normal healthy pregancy.

269.	P.M	Wimbledon, London	I was only diagnosed with fibroids in February but since I've noticed that's there's so little known about this (I didn't even know they exist, let alone that they affect so many women) I want to see more research done and more education for young people.

266.	F.L	Birstall, Leicester	I have recently been diagnosed with fibroids at a private clinic. I am shocked at the lack of advice and information i have been given. I'm having to study and research myself. This subject needs to be taken more seriously and the medical approach by some doctors really needs to be re-addressed.
265.	P.M	Kingsbury	IT'S ABOUT TIME WE HAD A PETITION,PLEASE SHOULD ANYBODY ELSE READ THIS, PLEASE GIVE IT YOUR SUPPORT.

263.	K.P	Dudley	I am due to have a Hysterectomy next week due to fibroids I am in that much discomfort that I can't wait. I hoped to keep my womb but this was the only option offered and I can no longer put up with feeling this bad.

258.	S.C	Oakham	Detection and management of fibroids appears to be hit and miss! More research has to be funded to avoid misdiagnosis and to prevent prolonging the misery for sufferers.

255.	R.A	Adel, Leeds	My doctor suspected Fibroids, 2 months ago, after my visit about painful period. She send me for ultra sound and virginal screening yesterday. From chatting with the nurses, I am sure I've got Fibriods. I don't know the type yet because I am yet to see my doctor, but I am frighten and confuse. I started researching, and found this website. Any help would be appreciated.
254.	H.S	Urbino	I would like to support this petition as the mother of a sufferer (about whom the entire family has been anxious for too long).There is an obvious and urgent need for more energetic research and action.
253.	E.S	London	Please do something to educate and improve the attiude of the male AND FEMALE surgeons and Drs. advising and treating women today. Barbaric and primitive hysterectomy should be AVOIDED at all costs not the first option presented, it's not even cost effective. Get some research going into the cause, prevention and safe cure of one the most debilitating of illnesses that should no longer be ignored.
