Awareness part 2

I returned to the doctor that following week on January 25th to get an ultra sound of my uterus. Once the results was in I was told I had 3 big fibroids the size of grapefruits. The fibroids had stretched my uterus out to a 4 month old uterus. My body thought I was 4 months pregnant. Yes! 4 months pregnant. The doctor said I needed an emergency hysterectomy. But right then it couldnt be done because my blood level was still way to low. I really didnt want someone else blood running through my veins the doctor decided to give me 3 months to build my blood back up. In the meantime I was given a deppo shot to stop my menstruation to preserve all the blood I had.

Ladies please be aware of extra bleeding during that time of the month. Excess lost of blood and bad cramping can be a sign of over grown fibroids or sis on the uterus.

Did you know fibroids can become cancerous?

  1. It can be cancerous and I found out that I have fibroid tumors also. My doctor keep me back and forth to check them. God is keeping you here to testify and encourage women to get checked an take care of yourself. Even as early as when your daughters get their first menustral cycle. This is your calling, write a book about it and talk to young women, ladies, and girls about it.
