| Please increase the funding for research into the causes, detection and treatment of fibroids. They have caused my mother years of misery and are now threatening my daughter's hopes of a child. |

| I suffered from horrendous periods
throughout my 20s and repeated
doctor\'s appointments yielded no
attempt at any investigation. At the
age of 31, finally my GP examined me
to find a very large fibroid. The
decision to have a myomectomy before
you\'ve had children is the most
difficult one I\'ve had to make.
Unfortunately after one miscarriage
and the fibroid increasing in size I now
have no choice. I have faith in my
consultant, but I feel sad that she\'s
the
only one who has really taken this
seriously and informed me (in an un-
scary way) about my options. |

| The need for more research and
awareness is vital. My family GP
surgery has given bad advice and
not looked at all treatment
options. This has resulted in a
close family member suffering
for the last 10 years. |

| I\'d really like to see an
alternative to \"having to have
a
hysterectomy\". Some ladies,
including me, would rather not
loose their uterus. |

| I pray and hope that there will be
much research in treating fibroid. |

| Much more research and understanding is required of the impact fibroids have on women's lives. Much more research into the part genetics play and if fibroids are hereditary and how much life style and emotions contribute. |

| An important area to research. I suffered from really heavy periods due to fibriods. I eventually got to see a specialist and had some of them removed, things are better, but I have been told they will return.Need to find a way to prevent this happening. Fibriods really affect a womens life, more research is needed. |
