Hi! I had a hysterectomy for fibroids more than 10 years ago and everything was fine then. Last year, thanks to an elective heart score scan, a small tumor and numerous tiny spots were discovered. I had the small tumor removed immediately. After a very long process like 2 1/2 months of waiting for pathology from Mayo's and I believe in Texas, it was determined that mine is slow-growing ESS. I'm on a hormone blocker wiping out the estrogen. (I understand this medicine is also used to treat Brest cancer but I don't remember for sure). Every other test I've had is clear. No chemo or radiation. I've had CT scans every 4 months now and lab work every 2 months. On supplements now calcium, magnesium and exercise most days to maintain good bone density/strength. It throws you into immediate menopause so think those symptoms, too. That scan saved/extended my life as I am in my mid 60s and very healthy(diet and exercise) and asymptomatic. A freak of nature thing I guess. I am thankful and receive good care. It is so, so rare indeed. Blessings to you and all...
