The first part of my fibroid story in a BBC article online “I had an 11lb fibroid removed successfully” by Open myomectomy (Laparotomy) , Click here to Read my BBC News item online. I was a patient Representative on the 2007 CG44 Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Guideline for NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) which produces the Guidelines for the UK NHS, so that we could finally get access to more effective treatments for this condition. We were contacted by 1,000’s of women who suffered from Heavy Menstrual Bleeding & Fibroids. , I participated in creating a UK Guideline for Drs & Patients to help people who suffered from both these conditions. . Thank you to all the Members of Parliament & Womens Organisations who supported us , to help women get Informed, Patient Choice .
After this article was published I went on to have twins, without IVF.
