Fibroid Cancer

What is Fibroid Cancer?

Uterine or fibroid cancer is the most common neoplasm in females, and may affect about of 25% of white and 50% of black women during the reproductive years. They are a major indication for a hysterectomy.

Particularly when they are small, they may be entirely asymptomatic. Generally, symptoms relate to the location of the lesion and its size.

Important symptoms:

Include abnormal gynecologic hemorrhage, pain, infertility, dysuria and urinary frequency. During pregnancy they may be the cause of miscarriage, bleeding, premature labor, or interference with the position of the fetus.

Pathology and Histology

Leiomyomas grossly appear as round, well circumscribed (but not encapsulated), solid nodules that are white, or tan whorled. The size varies, from microscopic to lesions of considerable size. Typically lesions the size of a grapefruit or bigger are felt by the patient herself through the abdominal wall.

Microscopically, tumor cells resemble normal cells (elongated, spindle-shaped, with a cigar-shaped nucleus) and form bundles with different directions (whirled). These cells are uniform in size and shape, with scarce mitoses.

Estrogen and Fibroids

Leiomyomas are estrogen sensitive and have estrogen receptors. They may enlarge rapidly during pregnancy presumably due to increased estrogen levels. As estrogen levels decline with menopause, while tumors tend to regress after menopause.

Hormonal therapy takes advantage of the fact that lack of estrogens leads to shrinkage.

Location

They may be single or multiple. Most start in an intramural location,- that is the layer of the muscle of the uterus. With further growth, some lesions may develop towards the outside of the uterus or towards the cavity. Lesions affecting the cavity tend to bleed more and interfere with pregnancy.

Secondary changes that may develop are hemorrhage, necrosis, calcification, and cystic changes. Less frequently, leiomyomas may occur at the lower uterine segment, cervix, or uterine ligaments.

Diagnosis of Fibroids

Diagnosis is usually accomplished by bimanual examination, better yet by gynecologic ultrasonography. Sonography will depict the fibroids as focal masses with a heterogeneous texture, which usually cause shadowing of the ultrasound beam.

In cases where a more precise assay of the fibroid cancer burden of the uterus is needed, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to generate a depiction of the size and location of the fibroids within the uterus.

While no imaging modality can clearly distinguish between the benign uterine leiomyoma and the malignant uterine leiomyosarcoma, the rarity of the latter and the prevalence of the former make it, for practical purposes, a non-issue unless evidence of local invasion is present. For this reason, biopsy is rarely performed.

Testimonials...

"I started getting a fibroid cancer in my 40's and in my 50's. I had one on my shoulder and combined taking Beta Glucans and applying Frankincense essential oil directly. It started shrinking within days and within a few weeks was almost completely gone.

This is amazing and feels great to have it gone!"

"I had a fibroid cancer in my breast the size of a small Easter egg. I rubbed in 1 drop of Young Living frankincense oil most days for about 6 months. In about 4 months it shrunk to the size of a jelly bean. Now it is half that size.

I hadn't made any other changes in my diet or lifestyle for many months before it started to shrink. Goodby fibroid cancer."

"I was diagnosed with a grape-fruit size tumor along with soft fibroid cancer tissue growths on one ovary and was scheduled for surgery. Mind you, this tumor was growing every day and I looked like I was slightly pregnant.

The surgery was about 5 weeks away and I was feeling more and more discomfort so I started to use Frankincense because of the anti-tumoral properties.

I made some capsules of 3-5 drops mixed with V-6 oil and took one twice a day.

After just two days of taking them, I began to sweat heavily even while just sitting at my desk at work. Along with that, my already heavy period was getting heavier. I also continued to feel slightly fatigued for a couple of days but continued to take the Frankincense.

By the third day I felt much better and I felt the swelling of my stomach had actually reduced. I took the capsules for five consecutive days. While using Frankincense, my body flushed a lot of the toxins that were built up in my uterus and I felt much better as a result.

Eventually, I also used Frankincense and Lavender on the area of my abdomen where my incision was to be to help to strengthen the tissue prior to surgery and reduce scarring.

I've been pleased with the results and my Doctor has commented on how well and how quickly the incision has healed."

"I used Young Living's Frankincense oil 3-4 drops daily on abdomen and 3-4 drops internally daily. I did the Raindrop Technique on my abdomen once monthly. I also put Frankincense with V6 oil on an all-natural cotton tampon a couple of times.

I use oils on a daily basis before bed, generally the Essential Seven and/or Raindrop Kit Oils, I alternate them. Most importantly I prayed, rebuked it and claimed and spoke my healing constantly.

Results may vary depending on size of fibroid and length of time of its existence. This protocol should still work but you may have to do it longer.

My fibroid cancer was detected very early (about 1cm) in Feb 2007 and by Aug 2007 it was gone. I had a sonogram for verification, it was negative. Halleluiah!"

"One day while riding in the car with my husband, I noticed a spongy-like tumor in his side burn - I asked him what it was and he said it had been there for a while. He also had one on the other side of his face. He had just had a basal cell removed from his eyelid the week before.

He made an appointment with a dermatologist several weeks away. I said in the meantime for him to put frankincense on these tumors morning and night.

Within 2 weeks they were totally gone.

We saved an office call with the doctor.

He went to work and told his boss and now they want to know what to do about his wife's rheumatoid arthritis."

"After every shower, I anoint my breasts with Frankincense essential oil - just a couple of drops each will do, to prevent tumors.

I can't say for sure, but I have a history of lumps (not cancerous) and I believe they have become fewer and farther between since I've been using Frankincense.

I love the aroma, too!"

"I had a small, round, skin tag type growth in the area of my front shoulder blade. It was very sensitive to the touch. I'd never had any type of feeling in a growth before.

I started putting one drop of frankincense oil on it 1 - 2 times a day (I chose Frankincense because I know it has helped for tumors). First it shriveled up, then I was able to remove it -

This process took about one week.

Young Living oils have helped me many times but I was still amazed - AND very relieved!"
