| Before my fibroid was finally
diagnosed, I was told by my GP that I
have irritable bowel and then when I
went back with my pain and heavy
bleeding, that I was going through the
menopause. Eventually, a scan
showed the fibroid, I suffer bad back
pain, especially at night, I have
queried if this could be pressure from
fibroid. I have had 6 months of
GNRH, which should shrink the
fibroid, but my continues to grow! So
now I have been advised that there is
a slight risk that it could be malignant.
I am having a hysterectomy, which I
have had to push for. I am
exhausted, scared and fed up of the
pain. Fibroids have ruined the quality
of my life for the past 5-years. Earlier
diagnosis and treatment is essential,
for such a common problem. |

| More research into
causes,detection and treatments
for fibroids is needed. My
symptoms have been making my
life miserable for over 2
years. I have only just been
referred to a gynaecologist. |

| It makes my blood boil that
as a long term fibroid
sufferer the only
alternative treatment to a
hysterectomy I was offered
was the Mirena coil, which I
'lost' after three years of
making my symptoms even
worse, including huge blood
clots and hair loss. A lot
more research is required to
determine the causes of
fibroid and offer more non-
invasive treatment options.
I have come to the end of my
tether now and am completely
exhausted and now even
considering a hysterectomy
to bring an end 15 years of
extremely painful and heavy
periods. |

having fibroids and I am appalled at
how little importance they seem to
have in the medical world. |

| After collapsing at home
haemorrhaging, ambulance to A and
E, HB 40, being told I was an hour
away from death, 4 unit blood
transfusion. u/s showed 10cm fibroid.
My life turned upside down when told
at 50 I needed a hysterectomy.
Refused and found a wonderful
eminent fibroid surgeon in London
who did a myomectomy on me at age
51 4 weeks ago. Preserving my
Uterus, Cervix and Ovaries. Late
menopause runs in my family and I
was utterly passionate about
preserving my womb. Thank god for
Nicki On who inspired me to fight for
my womb. A million thank you\'s. I will
keep in touch as my surgeon wants
me to help with a video to promote
myomectomy for all women of all
ages. Please do not hesitate to
contact me. |

| I am about to have a full hysterectomy, yet very little information has been provided to me. I had one GP appointment, one scan and one consultation with a registrar, by the end of which I had signed up for surgery. This is not informed consent!!!!!! |

| Women who have fibroid are
in a helpless situation
where they do not know what
causes it and what they can
do to prevent getting one.
Hystrectomy or mymectomy or
any surgery is not a
solution.We need to know
what causes it in the first
pace so that it can be
prevented or stopped from
growing back. More research
is surely required in this
field. |

| Fibroids are a source of misery for those who suffer from them thanks to the uncomfortable side-effects such as extended periods (mine has lasted 18 days so far this month and shows no sign of stopping) and pain in some cases. |

| In this modern day and age there should be non surgical alternatives to this distressing and often debilitating problem. Too many women in the UK have had to undergo needless hysterectomies. |

| Any efforts directed at
supporting this cause are in
the right direction as more
and more female lives are
interrupted due to this
illness. therefore im
signing this petition to add
to the masses of women who
are asking for more research
to be put in this effort |

| I\'ve had three years of
hell
living with ever increasing
fibroids. I was told they
would
shrink with menopause but
was
never told that whilst
waiting
for menopause they may grow
too
big to operate on. I am now
about to embark on esmya 3
months on 2 months off
until
menopause. I\'m only 47 so
this
could go on for some time. |
