This is an old thread, but addresses concerns I'm going through now, so maybe someone will have some advice or share their experiences.
I am 50 years old. I have a tumor in/on my uterus. It was the size of a softball in February when I had an ultrasound done. It seems to have gotten bigger. It hasn't really caused much trouble yet. Other than looking 5 months pregnant and having really heavy periods, and it's effecting my bladder some also. My doctor wants to do a hysterectomy or at the least remove my uterus and tumor. He said I wouldn't have to go on HRT with just my uterus removed.
I've read where they do not want to just remove the tumor because it's difficult and can damage the uterus.
I've been using the progesterone cream since then. It helped my PMS, but the tumor is still very much there.
So does anyone have any thoughts on it? I do not want to end up with a load of problems I didn't have before. I want the trade off to be in my favor. My next appointment is a week from Thursday, I'll need to have made a decision long before then, for my own peace of mind. And to know whether to cancel my appointment or not. Thanks for any light you can shed on my situation.
