Stop needless sarcoma deaths - routine biopsies on fibroids

Stop needless sarcoma deaths - routine biopsies on fibroids

The Issue

I am campaigning to try to make sure a routine biopsy is done on all women with uterine fibroids to rule out sarcomas. It’s difficult to visually see the difference between a fibroid and a sarcoma. A biopsy would need to be done to show that you could have  a cancerous mass not a fibroid. Sarcomas can be deadly and can only be contained not cured once spread, once spread only 14% survive. I have personal experience of this and am currently fighting for my life.
