I am not sure of how much is true on this "tumor" thing. Since I battle uterus problems for 3 years now, on and off with recurring cyst and such. Now since 3 months I have 2 of those uterine fibroids, way smaller than Jill has, but I am telling you in those last 3 months I have become irretable and depressed due to the fact of the pain and constant bleeding. I had a D&C 14 months ago and a fibroid was taken out then with the same symptoms. Now they are located in a different area and can`t be removed that easily with a D&C. My next appointment is in 5 days, and I am telling you I will insist on a Hysterectomy cause I can`t deal with this pain and sideeffects anymore. There are some fibroids who are located in an area where they don`t give you troubles but I can`t imagine running around with them for 10 years and not having problems, they push on your blatter or bowls and you will be running to the bathroom every 30 min or other side effects as well.
