Lupron Weighing the Odds, Cantelope, Invasive Surgery, Fibroids, Night Sweats
47 yrs. with many, many,many fibroids - making my uterus the size of a cantelope instead of a pear. Using lupron to reduce the fibroids so I can have laproscopy to remove the uterus and ovaries.

If I can save myself the long recovery time with an invasive surgery vs laproscopy- it's worth the short term. I no longer "leak" all day due the uterus being so large and heavy. I don't bleed all month long. Still worth it for my options.
