Expert Commentary: Lisa Merrit, M.D. 01/07/2010
4 years ago, my mother was among the 1.3 million Americans who received a cancer diagnosis. My outgoing, immersed-in-the-arts community mom was as shocked and in disbelief as most patients are who receive the initial diagnosis.
Imagine standing in my shoes as a physician delivering the news to the woman who brought me into the world. To quell mom's fear, I was immediately calming and reassuring. Patients easily pick up on messages that express otherwise.

Hundreds of thousands of women must have hysterectomies each year, and a significant percentage of those are a result of uterine fibroids, benign tumors that often occur in the wall of the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding, pain and even infertility and miscarriage. Hysterectomy is a drastic measure that removes a woman’s ability to grow a life, but what else can be done? Up until recently, there was little that medicine could offer outside of this irreversible surgery, but with modern technology and a procedure called Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), you have another option. Lawrence Hospital Center in Westchester, New York gives women with fibroids a choice.
