About: Amersham Vale Training Practice

When I went to see my Gp, was a bit anxious and worried regarding my Ultran Scan,for my Fibroids, because I am going for a coronoscopy treatment, which will be taking place at Lewisham, so I am very keen to have my scan done. Am no more seeing my period, so my Gp mentioned it is a 50, 50 chance of them seeing me or not, she strongly suggests that because I am not seeing my period they is chance that they will not see me. And another reason is because at the moment, the NHS is overwhelmed with patients. So the only options left now, is that she will give it a try to see, if it works out if it does not work out, just have it in mind, I do not have heavy periods, which I used to have in the past, which I used to worry a lot , for years I have to be on medications, which have never been easy at all, over the years and my mum have been very caring and highly supportive. Why I am so worried and keen to have my scan for my fibroid, because the last time I went, that was in 2019, fibroids were so big, I was expecting it to shrink by now, still very shocked with the results, still not very happy at all, up to this present day, because I have been going for my scans, a couple of times. So this is the main reason I get anxious, unsettled not myself at all. I have been taking a tablets called : (Desogesteral), to help to shrink the fibroids, still taking it up till now, because the doctor, I saw recommend I must take it, in order to get rid of the fibroids, which is extremely hard and not easy at all. And another solution, another doctor, suggested is going through surgery, which again is another 50, 50, chance. She suggested strongly, not guaranteeing, it is 100 percent the perfect, could go either way

you can go for the surgery, depending how it goes, might go very well or other alternatives, even it goes very well, sometimes the fibroids, can come back a again, which is a huge worry, can be very disappointing and frustrating, if it does mot go well. I have not been myself because of that, sat down, have given it a serious re-think about it, have a chat about it with my mum and dad, especially my brother, who is a doctor, really lovely 😍 and supportive, the entire family have come to a conclusion, it is not worth it and felt my life is at risk! So with all the lovely help and support, I have got from the whole family, it has made me have a re-think, on what to do, seeing things in clear perspectives, in the choices i make, making sure it is the right ones, the right decisions. Also be more careful in everything I do and don't put my life at risk in danger, if surgery is not the answer of getting rid of my fibroids, there are better options and solutions to try. And the recent doctor which was so lovely suggested to be positive with my weight always. Keep attending my low carb program, never give up! Keep fighting! Be strong too!!!!!
