UTERINE GOOD NEWS

my OB/GYN just called with results from my uterine utrasound of 2 weeks ago. i have been worried waiting as last year the test showed that the largest of 2 fibroids was growing and that was not good...i was also told that if it continued to grow, a hysterectomy might be in order......
IT HAS SHRUNK!!!!!!! and the smaller ones have also shrunk.... and all other ovary and uterus parts seem to look ok....
Because i am no longer on hormones and am taking Arimidex (for 5 years so that the recurrence of cancer is lessened),the dr feels the shrinkage is due to those 2 things...
so now I will just have an annual ultrasound to be sure the shrinkage continues......
meanwhile the Arimidex can cause and is seemingly causing a lot of pain in my joints and head....
coupled with the POLYMYALGIA pain and the residual pain from the broken shoulders....... it's pretty discouraging.....
i'd sure like to feel a painfree day.....
but HOORAY FOR SHRUNKEN FIBROIDS
