1698.	J	London	Living in London meant that once I reported my symptoms to my GP I was sent for immediate medical diagnosis and treatment to help with the terrible symptoms of fibroids, but more research should to be done to improve awareness, diagnosis, treatment, GP follow up care on progress (very poor), and where to go for help and support.

1696.	S.K	London	I would like to know how to treat a fibroid without it effecting fertlity and for more treatment options to be available on the NHS prior to having severe symptoms

1694.	J.B	York	Had a effect on my life for too long sure thousands of other women are in the same postion .Its not right and certainly not fair on us and our family,s
1693.	M.D.T	Highbury London	We need to more research into fertility sparing options for the treatment of fibroids so that the human rights of women are protected; i.e. the right to family life. Other countries are far more advanced in the treatment options available for fibroids such as the USA and the UK should strive to become a leading authority into the research of fibroids rather than look upon other countries to take the lead in this vital medical research needed by so many women both in the UK and around the world.
1692.	C.H	Deeside	I have suffered all my adult life with fibroids and had every treatment available - other than a hysterectomy. I am now 52, 25 years after my first fibroid was diagnosed and removed and menopausal but I still have several large fibroids that require treatment - no signs of the promised shrinkage due to age. I have suffered pain, aneamia and debilitation and the horror of always looking 5 months pregnant - which I have to say is not a good look for a woman of my age. I refuse to have major surgery as I cant be away from my job for that long. So I suffer in silence
