"When I was faced with... diagnosed with uterine fibroids, I wanted to find out everything I could about them. My symptoms were text book symptoms: heavy bleeding, a lot of pain, anemia. I was referred to another doctor who recommended a hysterectomy. Basically, the story was well; you've had your children. You don't need your uterus anymore. That just did not match my core belief about what my body was here for.
I went on the internet. I found the FTC. I discovered that embolization was the right treatment for me.
I discovered that embolization would be the right treatment for me. Within a week I was back to work and within two weeks, I was running again." I love to run. When I think about friends who have had hysterectomies - whose lives were interrupted to weeks on end - and probably forever more their lives will be different. I'm just so happy I made the decision that I did."
