I had an intramural uterine fibroid tumor, but it wasn't a fibroid tumor that most would imagine. It was growing on a blood vessel in my uterus, so the blood supply meant for my uterus would be literally feeding the fibroid instead. Its size equaled a melon (almost a full-term pregnancy), and it was of an aggressive growth, and it could've grown into my other internal organs if not operated on time. It was already protruding into my uterine cavity and smashing my right fallopian tube. Most doctors refused to treat me, and I'm talking about doctors at top hospitals like Yale. My previous gynecologist, awarded a zillion times in his area of expertise, wasn't even sure about what it was exactly that I had because my fibroid wouldn't fit on any ultrasound screen.
I kept emailing and faxing doctors all over the place with my medical records attached, asking if they could do both - treat me and preserve my fertility. Most doctors didn't reply, but those who did reply said that my condition looked very complicated and they could only try. TRY? Trying wasn't enough for me.
When I emailed to Dr. Pozzi, he got back to me within 48 hours saying he can help me. So, I made an appointment to see him the following week. After my very first appointment with Dr. Pozzi, I actually had the date and time of my upcoming treatment. I couldn't believe it! I was very nervous about it being postponed or cancelled, though. But it didn't happen. The night before my surgery, Dr. Pozzi called me to see how I was feeling and to reassure me that he was going to take good care of me. And he did.
Indeed, Dr. Pozzi took great care of me. It was a very bloody surgery, and I had to have 4 units of blood transfusion. After the surgery, I had to stay three nights at the hospital, and Dr. Pozzi kept an eye on me very closely. He even came to see me on Easter Day. Dr. Pozzi himself admitted that my case was the most challenging during his years of service in the field of Ob-Gyn. However, no matter how complicated my case was, Dr. Pozzi managed to save both my life and my uterus. I’m indebted to Dr. Pozzi for giving my husband and me hope to have children.
