Post Fibroids – Sally ’ s Story
In June 2011 my GP felt a large mass in my abdomen so I was referred to a gynaecologist. On an ultra sound one of my ovaries couldn’t be seen so I had an MRI to check it wasn’t ovarian cancer and luckily it wasn’t. I had a large subserosal fibroid and 2 tiny ones.

21 Days Post Op and No Pain – Samantha ’ s Story
Hi ladies, I thought i would share my story with you as I feel I am extremely lucky and for those of you who are worrying just like I was, it’s not always pain and more pain. Unlike most of you ladies my journey to my hysterectomy was a bit of a whirlwind and I did not have to go through years of suffering and waiting.
I am 46 and thought everything was fine until July 2012 when i was rushed into hospital with really heavy bleeding. I was kept in overnight and after having a scan was told that I had fibroids and a bulky uterus and at the time I didnt know what they meant.
I was sent home with transemic acid tablets w...
