fibroid tumor and blood thinner

[nohorn]

My daughter is walking around with a large fibroid tumor. She can't have it removed because she is on blood thinner and related problem with blood clots. Is there any long term problem she will have if she has to wait a long while like a year or so? She will be on thinner for at least another 6 months.

Sorry nohorn, I answered your other partial post before I saw this one.
My question is the same, is her tumour diagnosed as benign? - I hope so. I had very large fibroids and they did cause me considerable problems with my periods but that was "all" - I went to the GP because of the bleeding problems, that's when they sent me for a scan and found the fibroids. She will be guided by her gynaecologist and haematologist I am sure - if the fibroid is benign then in my experience, it will be inconvenient but didn't give any other problems. It may depend where in the womb it is situated. You might want to ask this question a bit later on in the day, add to this thread in a few hours time, sqad is probably the best person on AB to ask.

Well, she has only been assured that "most are benign."

I cannot add any more to the excellent reply of boxtops.
The scan is reliable in the case of fibroids, hence no urgency for it'e removal.
Despite being on anticoagulants,should a surgical emergency ensue, then the anticoagulation could be safely reversed, but that isn't the case with your daughter.
