Nena Wands hasn't added a story.
Some time ago my sister went to her doctor and in a normal exam to her OBGYN he informed her that she had a small cyst. When she asked what she should do she was told "cysts are normal in women and they just go away on their own." Time went by and in fact it seemed as if the cyst had gone away, but whoa it had not. This cyst had grown to the size a a large grapefruit and was now giving her extreme pain. After 3 days in the hospital they managed to painfully drain it, but advised her against having it removed because she was in her child bearing years. Dymitria has always known she did not want any kids and was fine if removing the cysts caused her not to have them. Well it is very hard to convince a doctor that you know your own body and feelings as as a women and how in fact you know you do not want to have kids. They will try and talk you out of it. The doctor went ahead finally and did the surgery for her and said that would help. Fast forwarding to the present and now the past has reared its ugly head. After trying to get in a workout Dymitria was experiencing severe pain in her abdomen and was rushed to the hospital. After several tests the doctor tells her her uterus is full with what she discribed as a "a bag of marbles." Also that there were two on the outside. One at the top of the uterus and one measuring 9 centimeters off the side of the uterus resting on the nerves of her right leg. She was sent home and told to look up fibroid tumors and make an appointment with her regular doctor. In waiting a month to get an appointment those tumors have grown and are 19.5 centimeters. Her abdomen now is the size of a 5-6 month pregnant women. The pain is unbearable and after seeing 3 different doctors for their opinions they all conclude a hysterectomy is best and will guarantee the tumors will not return. Now the hard part! SURGERY!!! After taking the situation up in prayer she is OK with the decision. After doing her homework Dymitria has found a doctor who can do the surgery robotically (to improve her chances of healing time), but needs your help with her insurance deductible and expenses so she can have the surgery. Please HELP.
