Thank you Jackie.

I got the results of my ultrasound and I have a fibroid that is over 4cm by 4cm by 4cm - isn't that the size of a golf ball? Nothing growing in the endometrial biopsy to be concerned about, so that is good.

I've been reading about fibroids and if I understand correctly I have too much estrogen in my body? Being a cancer survivor - that doesn't sound like a good situation. I'm looking for natural ways to reduce Estrogen and starting to read about DIM, chasteberry, etc.

Anyone have a natural way to shrink fibroids that worked, and is safe to try as a breast cancer survivor.

I was ER/PR- so not on Tamoxifen or anything like that.

Thanks, feel free to chime in please.
