She is taking injection once a month for three months to shrink the fibroids. I think the name of injection is lukrine depot S/C.
Is this treatment for this paticular condition?
Is this something like cancer or it is cancer or early stages of cancer.
Does this hitopathology report sings of cancer or not cancer?
Answer by A.P.
I am absolutely not a doctor or a cancer specialist but I can tell you one thing, MOST likely this is not cancer.
My godmother had fibroids around her uterus (a lot of them), and they were not cancerous. They're just tumours.
It is VERY rare for fibroids to be cancerous or to become cancerous, so don't stress. If you don't believe me, you can google it.
Edit: I forgot to mention that there's a possibility that you cannot have children after the procedure to remove the fibroids.
Edit: I just read that she's taking an injection to shrink them. My godmother had an operation. I don't believe the injections stop fertility. =)

I'm not a Dr/medical professional either...just a woman whose original diagnosis was uterine fibroids. Well it wasn't just fibroids, it was a rare form of uterine cancer which by the time they did some simple blood work, it was stage 4. I am on a drug called Lupron-Depo (which sounds similar to what your mom is on as well). Lupron can have some nasty side effects...the worst of which fir me was hair loss (thinning) and hot flashes like you wouldn't believe,,,but it does work quite well. I would ask for blood tests for tumor markers (one is CA-125 usually it is for ovarian cancer, but I have a rare cancer and CA-125 is indicative). Anyway..if you and your mom are worried, please please get second and 3rd opinions. If I had maybe I would have only been stage 1 or 2 when they found it.
