With Daylight Savings fast approaching, there are signs of spring all around us. This is such a beautiful time of year, as day light seems to hold on just a little bit longer, teasing us to come out and play. I find that Brad and I are taking more evening strolls with Sutton, and layering less and less. I never thought I’d say this because I love winter, but it feels really good! Another reason I’m feeling so tremendous? March 5th marked three months since my hysterectomy. I feel amazing, and my energy is soaring through the roof. I can't believe such a hard decision, that forced me to face some hard truths, would enable me to feel so healthy. I will be back to yoga and running in no time, and I can’t wait to take my first bath in almost two years by month’s end. I know that doesn’t seem like much to get excited about, but as a bubble bath-loving girly girl, oh, it is. Just to read a magazine and relax in our giant tub – I can’t wait!
Because I receive so many emails with questions regarding fibroids, I think it’s important that I tread carefully when giving such personal advice. The information I give through His Middle Name should never take the place of your primary care physician's treatment plan. With that said, this is a place for information and support. My decision to have a hysterectomy was not an easy one, and it took almost a year of back and forth on my part before I made a decision that I felt comfortable with. It was not easy on Brad and me as a couple either, as we knew this one decision was going to affect us deeply on so many levels. For us, educating ourselves was key. We saw a number of doctors and researched countless treatment options on our own. Sometimes we thought we had come to a decision, only to reexamine it and decide it wasn't for us. I am glad we did our due diligence before making such a huge decision, and I would encourage anyone who is seeking treatment for uterine fibroids to do the same. And ofcourse what better way to give you a push in the right direction? Why .... scout out a couple of opportunities to do just that!
In the month of March,The Fibroid Treatment Collective will be hosting two opportunities for you to explore your options and become your own advocate. The Fibroid Treatment Collective (http://www.fibroids.com/) is a medical group of fibroid experts and gynecologists that are dedicated to curing fibroid tumors with minimally invasive therapy. Depending on the size and location of your tumor, fibroid embolization or myomectomy is a great option for you if you want to preserve your fertility. If the tumor has caused too much damage to your uterus or surrounding organs, you may be a candidate for a hysterectomy. The Fibroid Treatment Collective also offers constant education through their website, blog and newsletter, which you can sign up for right now with just a few clicks by visiting their website. Once you sign up, you can have access to the most up to date medical and health information, live videos and the latest treatment options that are right for YOU. And the best part? It’s free! The following is information on their next two events that are free as well. How great is that? Enjoy learning and be gentle with yourself while nurturing such an important decision.
