Re: Re: major bleeding & alternative suggestion to hysterectomy

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

I am interested inknowing who the doctor was that

performed your hysteroscopic myomectomy. It appears

that is the procedure for me, but my ob/gyn is not a

fibroid expert, so I'm in the process of looking for a

doctor who is. Any info you can share with me will be

greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
