572.	P.D	Colnbrook	Please increase funding for better research.
571.	J.B	Cradley heath	I have several fibroids the size of oranges which have recently been found. I am told that i need not take any further action.(unless i want a hysterectomy) However i have many symptoms described, such as bloating, frequently wanting the loo, heavy periods. The doctors seem to have brushed me aside without any real alternatives. It seems that these things dont exist similar to the case of when doctors didnt seem to believe period pain, or pmt existed so i welcome this chance to sign this petition.

560.	J.W	Chorlton	It is very concerning to me, having been newly diagnosed today, that there is such a sense of inadequate funding for research, and a poor sense of the treatments and the access to them for women with this condition.

557.	Y	Warrington	In 2004 I was offered a hysterectomy to remove my fibroids but was not ready to accept I may never have children, so am hopeful that there are alternatives soon that might help me. I see their are a number of us in a similar mind set. Hang in there sisters xxxx
556.	N.S	Ashford, Middlesex	I have suffered with fibroids since 1997. I had a very difficult pregnancy in 2002/2003 when one fibroid reached 16cm in diameter. It then went into red degeneration. Thankfully my daughter was born in perfect health at 41wks. But the pregnancy was a very anxious one.
555.	W.R	Thorpe Bay	Whilst reading your stories, I realise that I have been very lucky with the doctors and treatment I have so far received, good luck to the ladies who are still undergoing treatment.
554.	C.L	Bath	I am shocked by the lack of adequate research into cause of fibroids, treatments available and the number of hyterectomies performed due to fibroids.
553.	L.C	WATFORD	I have just been diagnosed with fibroids so any improvement in R&D for this miserable problem would be fantastic.
