Thank you for the helpful info...I had a partial hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and had several fibroid tumors removed...they were large the size of a grapefruit...I also knew i had several larger tumors one 14" long against the back left pelvic wall attached to a ligament with another one growing down my cervix. The Dr. ask me to wait 4mo take Lupron and have a second surgery after the tumors shrink then have another Laparscopic surgery...I didn't feel comfortable taking Lupron so I decided against it mostly after reading the side affects...I will be scheduling my second surgery in one month this time with him doing an incession on my pubic area so he has plenty of room to remove large fibroid tumors without problems of damaging my organs and having room to remove away from the pelvic wall...He will also remove my cervix but leaving my ovaries so I don't go into Menapause...I thank you all for sharing your experience and feel comfident and comfortable knowing I am doing the right thing not using Lupron. I just turned 44 but suffered painful long periods from the age of 12 years old..Happy to get rid of it and not go into premenapause! I will keep you posted after my second surgery! Good luck to everyone with any health issues! Sincerely Eve
