Answers:
The best way to help her is to educate yourself about her condition. Most fibroid tumors are NOT cancerous so that should be of some relief to her. Also, there is now bio identical HRT (hormone replacement therapy) which means doctors can match up her exact hormonal needs after surgery and they are made from naturally derived hormones and not the synthetic type once used. Medicine today is wonderful and after her surgery she should pretty much go back to her normal routine. There is a lot of info on the www. Just google fibroid tumor treatments and you will learn a lot. She is lucky to have a sister who cares.
