About Me: Female, 59, member since Mar 2008
I'm a 45 year old woman who has been having problems with fibroids and ovarian cysts since Sept 2006. I have gone for several ultra sounds and 1 CT, so far. I'm continuing to see doctors and hope to have these issues resolved soon. The fibroids continue to grow as we

ll as the cysts. The cysts on right ovary is now a complex cystic solid mass. I never had problems with my left ovary before and suddenly there is now a complex cyst on my left side as well. I also have a 5mm hyperechoic focus in my left kidney which could be a small stone, but we don't know yet. My family doctor is sending me to a GYN oncologist. I see him March 13 2008. I'm just looking to connect with others that have similar issue's and we can share what we're going through.
I had my Full Hyster including cervix on April 18 2008 and it's now May 3 2008 and DON'T REGRET having it all removed. Surgery went FAR BETTER than I could have EVER EXPECTED AND I WAS EXTREMELY SCARED with this being my first surgery. I am hear for ALL to ask away with any questions you may have.
I have my records in hand for this Thursdays March 13, 2008 appointment and they are as follows:
From Sept 19 2007 to my Feb 12 2008 measurements of my fibroids have gone from:
1st largest on Rt of uterus measured Sept 19, 2007
3.0 x 2.9 x 2.7 cm
Now it measures as of Feb 12 2008
3.4 x 3.7 x 3.1 cm
Second largest being on left side of uterus measured on Sept 19 2007
1.7 x 1.9 x 1.5 cm
Now on Feb 12 2008 it measures
2.7 x 2.6 x 2.1 cm
There's also a note about prominent endometrial thickening 13mm. Don't know what this means.
My right ovary cyst on the CT on Oct 3rd measured:
4.2 x 2.5 cm stated it's a hypo dense mass. Feb 12th Ultra Sound states I have a Complex Cystic and Solid Mass on my right ovary. Also contains a 2.0 cm nodule. Now my LEFT SIDE also has a Complex cystic mass measuring 2cm and I never had any problems with my left ovary before. There's also a 5mm hyper echoic focus in my left kidney, which could be a small stone.
Conclusions:
1. Myomatous uterus.
2. Thickening of the endometrium. This may be further evaluated with hysterosonography.
3. Complex Cystic and Solid Mass in the right ovary. Additional imaging with CT or MRI is recommended to further characterize.
I think I covered it all. I don't understand the conclusions. I'll have to search and see what I can learn about #1. Also, I don't know what a hysterosonography is. I've already done the ultra sounds and just had a CT in Oct which said to follow with a Ultra sound which was the last thing I did on Feb 12th. I "think" my family doctor is just cutting to the chase and sending me to the oncologist to get this taken care of before there is a problem. I do know that a solid mass increases chances of cancer. I'm HOPING there is NO WAY this doctor on the 13th is going to put off taking this mass out. I REALLY NEVER WANTED to have everything out, but at this rate of this going on since Sept 2006 and now all my parts are involved I think it's time to take it all out to avoid anything more happening. I just don't know if a doctor does this at my request, because of these issue's or if he'll only do it if he decides it should be done.
In everyone's knowledge of all your own issues and maybe other women you know what do you all think should be done about all this? I'm tired of all the discomfort and PAINS I keep getting. I was woken up in the middle of the night last night from the pain.
I really appreciate how I've been hearing from you all. You ALL are so wonderful. THANK YOU.
Actually, now that I have the records in hand and read them for myself I'm not stressed like I was before seeing what they said myself.
Hope you all are having a GREAT DAY!!! :-D
Hope you're all doing well. [Less]

Hope you are getting other things done - don't the extra jobs take so much time, lol? Long story but we are currently working on removing these huge dead trees from our yard - it is very hard work and we have to haul everything to the dump. Well, in the meantime, the rest of the yard is going to pot and I can't get my housework done! There is just so much anyone can do right?
When we retire and move to Tennessee, we aren't having a grass yard, lol. We hope to be in the mountains and all natural.
The rhuematologist said my blood work all came back negative for things like lupus, etc. so am glad about that. He doesn't really believe in CFS so am not going back to him!
Have a good day!

Hi you hard worker!
Are you putting down prefab flooring or real hardwood floors? I don't know about the moisture barrier! When we had ours done, the company did it, so maybe they did that first, I don't remember. It was years ago. Sorry about your sinuses! Is that from the cold or allergies? We have terrible pollen count right now and we have been miserable. Poor Jerry - it hits him particularly bad. We had a bad time Saturday.
Well, off to work for me and I have another doctor appt. today. I am starting to get confused!
Hope today is good for you!

How did the bedroom flooring go? Does it look nice? I bet it does!
Epstein Barr virus causes mono, so you will have that in your system, inactive probably, but stress and surgeries and other things can trigger it and then that is when you can get CFS and Fibro, even some cancers. I don't think they really know what all it does but it can wreak havoc. I am finding that out personally.
Hope your weekend was good! Beautiful here yesterday but the pollen count is outrageous! So we are all miserable. Would love to open all my windows and air out the house, but we would be dying.
Take care and post pictures of your remodel!
Hugs,
Colleen

You should write to HGTV and see if they would take on your living room. I am not sure which show would do it, but they do that sort of thing all the time! and yes, certainly post on here and see what ideas you get. It certainly couldn't hurt.
If you had mono has a teenager then you probably have Epstein Barr in your system too. There could be a good chance that you will get CFS, from all that I have read. I think I got it about 4 years ago when I was so sick - the worse I have ever been and my throat was raw it was so bad. Then I think my two surgeries last summer kick started it to being stronger. I was already feeling it but since then, it has been much worse.
Well, hope you have plans for the weekend and it will be fun!
Take care,
Colleen
