Holy cow! My fibroids were only the size of baseballs and tennis balls, LOL! But I did get the whole shabang removed, ovaries, cervix, uterus, everything. I was worried but there are benefits - (no chance of cervical cancer, which killed my grandmother, no ovary problems, no more prolapse) I wasn't in menopause either at the time. I am doing HT, and I love it - no periods, no hot flashes, no night sweats, no emotional swings (well, ok, maybe a few, but they're not hormone related). The HT dose is reduced over time to simulate the natural shutting down of the ovaries, so you don't instantly hit the menopause wall. I have a cute little smiley that you can hardy notice. From the sounds of the size of your problem, I wouldn't thing lapro would be appropriate, but your doc will give you a more knowledgable answer. Hey, May 22nd is a great day - it's the day I had my first child! I will keep you in mind & prayer that day
