.the Gynaecological surgeon we saw won't perform a laparoscopy until my partner (who has unstable Hypothyroidism) gets her levels in check.

Meanwhile she can't get her levels in check because we can't find a decent Endocrinologist who could do that. We have seen quite a few endocrinologists already.. Fibroma is probably playing a part in her upset hormone levels. She is in a lot of pain for over 10 months now.

We need to get second gynecological opinion. Is anybody able to recommend any gynecologist/gynecological surgeon anywhere in UK, somebody who can deal with Ovarian fibroma in hypothyroid patient?

PM me please, we are desperate to get help. Internet search for doctors didn't get us far.

thank you for help

Tony

Thank you Kittie i'll go there right now.

Hi Tony, I would say go back and speak to the gynae liason nurse in your partners hospital or go back to the gp who should be able to put you in the right direction. Or as Kittie has said go the the website or contact Macmillian.org which is supportive of cancer patients, and Womb Cancer. UK
