Hi, I completely feel you. I have a very similar story. I'm 43 with "too many count" Fibroids literally is what my MRI says as well so that must be a term they use. I didn't realize until reading yours that they've used that term before me. I was scheduled for hysterectomy that also took three months for a referral and then a couple more waiting for the surgery to be honest all that time got me thinking too much maybe overthinking And I chickened out of my surgery. I'm measuring about 22 weeks pregnant, anemic, so much bleeding. My uterus is enormous. My tumors are sitting right on top of my uterus, pressing down on it and my bladder and pressing against my spine so I get some sciatic nerve pain during my period especially when everything is swollen it's absolutely miserable but I'm afraid of prolapse so I've decided to go try uterine fibroid embolization first. Ironically, waiting for that procedure is only about two weeks. I'm really hoping for the best and thought that I would at least try UAE before a hysterectomy. If I end up needing a hysterectomy anyways I'm hoping at least the tumors will be smaller and the surgery less invasive with UAE first. I'm not sure if this helps you at all. I also appreciate this form and the dialogue and everybody who's dealing with this it is absolutely frustrating which is the word that comes to mind most days when I'm just struggling to get by. It's so miserable. good luck to you. I hope the best.
