Dear Catherine-
Thank you for your email to our program.
We can remove your fibroid and save your uterus with our FAS procedure, but if your doctor has suggested a hysterectomy, chances are he/she is not comfortable or is unable to perform another myomectomy.
You should seek out a second opinion.
Good luck
