1058.	S	LEICS	I believe that we should all be offered a yearly ultrasound to check for fibroids and any other issues. I have had a seven plus years battle to find out I have fibroids, endometriosis, IBS, adhesions, and last but not least pain. If I had been able to have access to a yearly check up, I can't help thinking I would be a little better place than i am today. I have been advised that as my many fibroids are small, they are not a problem and in themselves do no require treatment. I have a full hysterectomy booked in September, I am 40, its not what I want, but after other treatments have failed, I am not sure where I go from here. Its a 100% campaign support from me. We need more funding and research. A CHOICE of a yearly full checkup. Many more options when a diagnosis is made. (East Midlands UK)

1055.	D.B	CHESTER	I have just been diagnosed with fibroids and had no idea that all the symptoms i've been suffering over the last ten years have probably been due to these. Awaiting appointment with my GP to discuss the options. I am preparing to arm myself with as much info as possible as judging by the comments i've been reading not enough is known about the condition. I'm 53 but i'm not prepared now to wait and see if they disappear aafter the menopause. I want to feel better NOW!!! More research please to save future generations what we have been going through for years.

1050.	M	Nottingham	This is a health issue that has affected every woman in my family over generations. In that time, a cure has been elusive and the treatment advances minimal. I would like see this condition taken seriously and more funding for research in to the causes and treatment, so that the next generation of women can live without the blight of fibroids.

1040.	L.G	Halesowen	For such a common problem more research and funding is needed. I suffer with painful heavy periods due to a fibroid and wonder if my symptoms will get worse as I am only 45. 3 of my aunts all had fibroids and all had to have an hysterectomy 20 odd years ago. Please add my name to petition.
1039.	S	Leamington Spa	I have had a 6cm fibroid which was diagnosed four years ago, before that I had a smaller one taken out by keyhole in 1997. I cannot believe that we have to have so much surgical intervention for a common but life affecting condition Upon visiting my local hospital, I was advised to have a hystorectomy, as fibroids tend to bleed greatly! I am due another scan soon, but I will not concede to such a drastic intervention...
