Here is some information for you; I'm sorry you are still in the hospital, but at least you have a laptop and time to read (trying to look at the positive side). :-)
Let us know what follow-up questions you have, if any, after reading through some of this information, and you can also ask your doctor when you see her again.
It may be helpful to see what topic(s) interest you, as you will most likely want to know a few things and ask your doctor:
- do fibroids reoccur?
- if so, what can I do to prevent fibroids from reoccurring?
- what side effects can I expect from any of the recommended treatment/prevention methods?
- how often do I need to be seen by my Gyn, in the short- and long-term?
- do fibroids increase my risk for any other health conditions in the future, that I need to be aware of?
I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any follow-up questions, or if you don't understand something...we can provide additional information or do some research if your doctor says something that you don't understand.
