Enjoying Life All Over Again

“I knew there were other alternatives to hysterectomy out there. When I heard about the seven to fourteen day recovery (instead of twelve to fourteen weeks with hysterectomy), it definitely caught my attention.” – Alesia

Alesia suffered painful and debilitating symptoms from her uterine fibroid tumors. She knew she had to do something, so she began researching fibroid treatments on the internet. She came across the Fibroid Treatment Collective at www.fibroids.com and found a video of Dr. Bruce McLucas explaining fibroid embolization, a non-invasive alternative to a hysterectomy.

Enjoying Life All Over Again

Free of Fibroids

“I discovered that embolization would be the right treatment for me. Within a week I was back to work. Within 2 weeks, I was running again.” – Kathy

Kathy experienced heavy bleeding, a lot of pain and anemia due to her fibroids. Her doctor recommended a hysterectomy. She did some research online and found the Fibroid Treatment Collective.

“Free of Fibroids”

Hope said NO to hysterectomy. YES to non-surgical embolization.

Hope's fibroid embolization testimonial

“The worst thing about having fibroids was feeling like there was an alien inside of me. I had such horrible cramps. I had a feeling of heaviness, a feeling of being totally out of control. It was devastating to my social life and to my professional life.”

“Hope says that the best thing she ever did was ignore the doctors that recommended a hysterectomy and had a UAE (uterine artery embolization).”-Hope

Fibroids felt like I had something inside of me

Escape from hysterectomy

“I started to research other options and I found uterine embolization and Dr. McLucas. I made an appointment and we discussed the procedure. I had the embolization and 7 years later I still know I made the right decision for me. The fibroids have shrunk and my uterus is back to a normal size. I don’t have the urgency to urinate or suffer from constant constipation. My periods are manageable and I don’t have to worry about taking a change of clothing.

The best part for me is I didn’t need to have a hysterectomy and my recovery time was minimal. I spent the first night in the hospital for pain management, but by the next morning I was ready to go home and take it easy for that first day. After that I was up and doing my own work around the house. I didn’t require anything for pain after the first day. After a couple of days, I was ready to return to work. I am so happy uterine embolization was a choice for me. I am happy with the results and I know I made the right decision. Thank you, Dr. McLucas.”

Escape from hysterectomy

Cynthia couldn’t get pregnant. One procedure changed everything.

Success story explaining by patient Cynthia at Fibroid Treatment Collective

Cynthia dreamed of being a mom. Fibroids nearly ended that dream

“I went into a depression. I cried everyday. Cried to work, cried at work, cried on my way home…until Dr. McLucas.”

Cynthia’s doctor said the only way to stop her bleeding and dizzy spells was a hysterectomy. One consultation with the Fibroid Treatment Collective convinced her to try embolization instead. Fourteen months after her procedure, Cynthia was not only free of fibroids…she was pregnant.

Fibroid Embolization Saved Me From Early Menopause

“It (fibroids) affected my mood, my energy, I just couldn’t seem to have enough energy to do some of the things that I wanted to do with my children and my spouse.” – Michelle

Michelle suffered from heavy bleeding because of her fibroids. At one point, she even bled for 45 days straight. Other doctors told her a hysterectomy was her only choice, but she didn’t want to be forced into early menopause. That is when she found Dr. McLucas.
