1535.	C.G	Stanford-le-Hope	Having recently experienced having a fibroid and never hearing anything about it before, I think more research and awareness etc is imperative.

1531.	O.A	Peterborough	I support this petition for governmet to put fibroid in the top of agenda for research funding for early detection and more importantly the use of non-invasive treatments. This disease is more common than a lot of people realise.
1530.	T.H	Netherton, bootle, liverpool	Research for better treatment is needed fibroids cause me a lot of pain and other problems i spend at least 4 days a month in bed in terrible pain and very heavey bleeding feel very sick and extremley tired
1529.	R.M	High Wycombe	There seems to be little new research into a condition which is debilitating for man. I would have hoped that the hyterectomy could have been replaced by a less radical treatment. It's a great shame as it affects many women.
1528.	D.R	Rutherglen	I think the treatment of women and their fibroids is not taken seriously enough. More has to be done to help women suffering from these sometimes very problematic tumours.

1526.	S.R	London	My first encounter of Fibroids was back in 2005 and again in 2007. Before that it was not something I had heard about at all so was a complete surprise to me when I heard I had the first one. I only decided to get my symptoms checked out after they got really bad. Raising awareness and research into Fibroids could not be more important. It would provide women with all the information needed so that it is not completely alien. The more information we have out there the better.

1523.	A.B	Cumbernauld	Fibroids do enormous damage to women's health, resulting in time off work to cope with excessive bleeding & pain. They can also have a catastrophic effect on fertility. we need an effective treatment now
1522.	E	Marseille
1521.	S	Laos	Fibroids were unknown to me until I was diagnosed with them at a very late stage. I realise how much doctors and female and male gynecologists always avoided enquiring into my heavy and painful periods. Where they unaware, or disinterested? I don't know, but I realise that it is a taboo issue that needs further medical attention.
