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 to me.

I came in the morning... it was simple... "it as simple as it was explained to me" Within a week I was back at work. Within a couple 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.
