December ct scan

Hi again, Kris
Just wanted to let you know that I learned at work yesterday of a treatment for fibroids that sounds like embolization to “plug” the blood vessels feeding the fibroids. I’m not sure what conditions warrant such treatment but this particular had so many fibroids that she had to have a c-section to deliver her daughter safely. Later, they did the embolization and the fibroids shrunk up and “died”. I didn’t know that embization of blood vessels is used for so many conditions in medicine. My older sister also had embolization of a blood vessel in her brain that had bled (hemmorhagic dissecting aneurism) last year. Miracle she survived the aneurism and is thriving today. Interventional radiologists do this kind of surgery. Anyhow, I’m digressing!! I imagine that if a woman is past childbearing age they just do a hysterectomy if and when fibroids become a problem (but they aren’t always a problem).

Kris, this is FABULOUS news on both scan and markers!! Good for you! This trial seems to be the right thing for you! I am also impressed at your faith and wonderful energy that you so generously share. Keep the good news coming and let us know what the doc says about the fibroids.
Cheers, Willow

Hey Kris,

I’m so happy for your good news!!! Stay positive and continue to ask God to bless you!!! Stable is such a great word!!!

Love & Peace,
Mary

Oh, also, my Mum has had fibroids for absolutely years. They’re non-cancerous and just seem to sit there, not doing much!

Woohoo Kris!! Way to go. So very happy to read the good news. Blessings of the season to you!

Oh, is that your age??? Or your admirers?? Which ever its great news.

OK, Randi, you must know I can’t resist this comment. If the uterus is external….here it comes…. how do you hide it when dressing? The other day my Gastro guy asked me if I am ready for surgery? I said heck no, the only bag I want to wear is one from Macy’s!
