Los Angeles Event - From My Perspective
“I am 49 years old and I have been suffering from fibroids for 20 years. I had my first myomectomy in 1992, the fibroids grew back, so I had another myomectomy in 2002, the fibroids have grown back again, plus I’ve had two miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy. Now I want a hysterectomy but my [...]
Infertility And Fibroids…Yet Another Symptom
“Human reproduction is an inefficient process. On average, only one in five meetings of sperm and egg result in a fertilized egg with pregnancy potential. So therefore normal is abnormal.”
This was a quote that Dr. Howard W. Jones gave during a recent interview. And he should know, he started the first in vitro fertilization clinic (with [...]
A New Perspective
“I just wanted to let you know that Dr. Oz is doing an episode on fibroids today, so be sure to record it!” I cringed at the message my oh-so-helpful mother left on my voicemail last Friday, as I was getting ready for work. She is forever giving me all kinds of advice I never [...]
Ahhh, Fibroid Relief…At Last
Viewing the road that lead(s) one to an end goal can be enlightening AND jarring…but for darn sure, full of teachable moments.

Team Work

After our conversation, I just sat in my chair daydreaming. My thoughts took me to the first time that Dr. LeBlang and I met. [...]

I also promise: 1.To be brief with my descriptions (okay,stop rolling your eyes), 2.To be unbiased in my explanations (this will be as difficult as attending a nudist camp and [...]
“OOOPS!” Sorry
Time to admit the error of my ways!
To quote my darling 17 month old granddaughter whenever any miss-take occurs in her world (ie: dropping goodies up-’n-over the highchair table,) an expressive audibly-adorable reaction punctuates the air…”OOOPS!!”
Well, I say, “OOOPS OOOPS OOOPS!”
I would like to apologize for my behavior regarding my blatant bias and undeniable prejudice [...]
Great Wall Street Journal Article on Fibroid Treatments Today

It’s main focus is on Radiofrequency (RF) ablation, a minimally invasive treatment which ablates fibroids in a manner similar to Focused Ultrasound, yet the author fails in accurately depicting Focused Ultrasound (more to follow with a comment directly to the [...]
A Year Of Words-On-’Roids…Fibroids That is!
A year revealed in one liners (taken from each of my weekly postings) is how I wish to culminate this, one of the wordiest-Wendy-years ever! So as we bid adieu to 2009 and anxiously start carving out “our” 2010, I present to you “A Year Of Words-On-Roids…Fibroids That is!” (I have taken one quoted thought [...]
