2100.	L.A.R.A	Dromore	I'm a tax contributing fulltime worker, looking at repeated absences and a potential 6-8wk recovery time worst case scenario on a hysterectomy. Add to that the hospital etc costs of such an extreme treatment. The costs of research for better diagnosis and earlier less invasive treatment would pay for themselves in the medium to long term.
2099.	K.P	Worcester Park	I want to know whether I could have avoided getting fibroids when I was younger.
2098.	N.H	Watford	I have suffered from fibroids for 15 months; first taking esyema but now referred to local hospital and waiting for second appointment; in the meantime, I am told by my doctor that i look about 5 months pregnant but thankfully apart from a hideously bloated stomach there are no other problems so far

2096.	J.B	Shrewsbury	Affects so many people, there have to be better ways of dealing with this!!

2094.	K.E	Bath	Millions of women are suffering with fibroid, but still the only answer is a hysterectomy, surely in this day and age we can come up with an alternative.Also lets look at progressing Esyma so this can become a viable long term solution.
2093.	J	London	Yes this definitely an area that needs more research. Many women are suffering and need specialist help and support to overcome this condition.

2091.	N.A	Poole	As a sufferer I feel there is not enough information or support supplied by the NHS.
2090.	K.S	London	14 months of guiding myself through the miasma of NHS - still experiencing terrible bleeding every month. a prisoner 3/4 days a month due to such heavy bleeding. Anaemic, had to have blood transfusion etc. etc.
2089.	G.T	Saltcoats	Had a fibroid removed when my children were small - 12 weeks to recover was tough going as I was raising them on my own. Suffered from a hernia post surgery which required further surgery to repair - another 12 weeks recovery. Unfortunately the wrong materials were used by a young, inexperienced surgeon and further surgery was required. A further 12 weeks recovery. Now have very fast growing fibroid causing severe pelvic pain. Research and advice would be much appreciated
2088.	N.R	Reading	I think more research is needed into fibroids as a fibroid suffer recovering from a myomectomy needs to know how to prevent it coming back and why it happened in the first place.

2085.	M.K	Brighton	Far more needs to be done. I have been in turmoil and still undecided because of lack of understanding and due to have hysterectomy this weekend!!
