> My sister has just had a hysterectomy and one of her fibroid cysts

> contained some leiomyo cells and now she is going back in the hospital to

> have more surgery as she has two growths and they want to remove them and

> hopefully they are benign. But when she went to the cancer doctor in Grand

> Rapids, Mi. he literally scared the crapp out of her. I felt so much

> better reading your story and faxed it to her today. Our oldest sister

> died at age 30 of breast cancer in 1971, so I am very scared for my sister

> and for myself. Karen(my sister) is 53 and I am 49. Please say a prayer

> for her as her surgery is on April 1st, what a great day to have it on.

> Thanks again for your inspiring story.
