Bad news...

[crowdog66]

I just got off the phone with my gynecologist, who was nice enough to call me back because I was too stoned to really remember what he said to me in the recovery room.

The news is pretty bad: the fibroid that we saw in the ultrasound extends ALL the way through the uterine cavity, filling it up pretty much completely. The only two options open to me at this point are:

1) Hormones, which I already know I don't tolerate well, and

2) "Radical surgery", ie a hysterectomy.

On the positive side, everything else looked nice and clean and normal and he's not anticipating any problems with the biopsy.

I'll be going to see him for a follow-up appointment in November and we'll discuss my options (such as they are) at that point.

Well, color me disappointed -- and more than a little scared. :-(

*BIG hugs* I can't say as I blame you for being scared. But you're in my thoughts and prayers, and whatever you decide to do, I hope it works out for the best. (And here's to normal biopsies.)

aw hun...I feel your pain...I've had so many weird things happen with my reproductive system that I know all about shitty options being given to you. I hope things work out well for you... *hugs*

Thanks for the encouraging words. :-) The Evil Overlord isn't causing me too many problems, but knowing it's in there, and so HUGE, is kind of strange.

I'm so sorry to hear this. A big hug to help you through with whatever option you choose and, as many others have already said here, hoping you have better luck with the biopsy.
