Post Menopausal Fibroids

I am 62 and have been diagnosed with fibroids as a result of CT and US scans. Pelvic pain is constant, often severe. My HRT has been switched to Tibolone which I am told will not ‘feed’ the fibroids. I am waiting for an NHS gynae referral appointment which will not be anytime soon as there is a huge waiting list. Until then, I’m using painkillers to control the pain. Also doing daily mindfulness sessions.

It feels like a very lonely journey and it would be great to hear from forum members who have had/are having a similar experience. I would be eternally grateful for any suggestions you can offer.
