1. Seek a 2nd/3rd opinion(it is your body & health)
2. Ensure you are talking to a Gynaecologist
3. Ask about all forms of surgeries available & discuss which is best for YOU
4. Do all relevant tests before surgery as recommended
5. Get blood donors ready before surgery

you may need blood)
6. Be optimistic (a positive attitude goes a long way)
7. Use your support system
8. READ READ, let your information be from reliable sources and not from "one of my aunty brother's friends/ neigbhours'
Your situations aren't necessarily the same

If the fibroids are already affecting your quality of life negatively, pressing on surrounding organs, please go ahead with your surgery if that is your only/best option (with/without a partner in view)
You can have a family when you are healthy & alive
Wishing you all the best
