Anyone from NE?!
Hi there! I just joined a few days ago. I'm from Omaha & 34 years old. I've been working with my OB for about 10 years, I've been diagnosed with multiple fibroids. I had UAE done about 5 years ago, it REALLY helped the symptoms. I was a new woman after that! But now, 5 more years & the 'roids are about the size of a 4 month pregnancy. My OB says he will do TAH whenever I'm ready, leaving the ovaries. He didn't think another UAE or myomectomy would do any good cuz they are so large. We don't want kids, so at least I'm not conflicted that way. But I do work out a lot & the idea of being down for at least 6 weeks is making me a bit nuts. I haven't decided yet, I think I'll wait til the winter if I can. I'd rather sit at home & do nothing when the snow is flying than deal with it now. Keep us posted on your progress!
BTW I'm a born & raised Nebraskan
