Fibroid Tumors.....

Good Afternoon & Happy Tuesday Stamping Friends!

I am giving you all an update/diagnosis on what's going on with me.  After being on bed rest & seeing my Dr. way more than I want to for tests and ultrasounds.....we now know what has caused me to have severe bleeding this past week since I've been home from Utah.

It appears that I have a serious non cancerous growth in me that is causing all kinds of disruption right now.  He said it's a sizable tumor but being that this is my first ever episode of it messing with me; he wants to move forward cautiously.  I really do appreciate this approach since I'm not in favor of having this type of incident more than once.  IF this occurs again; he's going to recommend a hysterectomy since neither one of us want the radiation treatment. 

I'm elated to finally know what's going on & I'll be glad when I'm completely back to normal.  I am quite weak & get light headed....Dr. says it's from all the blood loss.  I am to continue to take it easy & start back slowly into my regular routine.  He gave me another week on bed rest so I'll see if I can maybe color some images or something LOL!!  I do miss stamping!!!!!

I appreciate you all so very much & I'll post again when I get a chance!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,
Jackie

  1. I am glad that the cause was discovered. Please take care of yourself and don't overdo. I didn't have fibroids but did have to have my uterus removed at age 36 due to a potentially cancerous condition. The peace of mind is worth a million dollars.

    Love & hugs,

  7. Praying for a full and complete recovery! Take it easy for the next few weeks, as it will be a while for you to get all of your stamina back.

    Rest comfortably and hopefully everyone will spoil you while you are recovering.

  10. Hello, sweet Jackie! Sorry to hear that you are under the weather. I KNOW what you are going through. I suffered with four, then eight fibroid tumors...hair loss, anemia, fatigue. Had my laproscopic hysterectomy last fall, if you remember, and I feel fantastic now. Send me an email if you need any questions answered...I'd love to help!
