Hi Kent. It is late and I guess I'm typing to help myself feel better. We just found last week that my mother has leiomyo. It was a shock to find that although my mother feels well now the doctor says she may have no more than six months. I am trying to cope but at the same time I'm not letting go of my faith and I will work as hard as I can to give her hope. I guess i am writing to you as well as others with leiomyo. It is currently attacking her liver (doctors found sarcoma last year on the smooth stomach muscle and removed her stomach- now it is back) and I am trying to find others with the same senario since the liver is a delicate organ. Many other (survival) stories I have read have dealt with organs that are resectable. Looking for any suggestions or even similar stories so that she won't feel so isolated. Thank you for this page Kent. It helped her out last night when she was feeling down. Anyone with answers or related stories please email me at Kea2@prodigy.net.
Thank You.
