J.S.
I had a large fibroid removed (to preseerve fertility) I would second the uterine artery embolization over a hysterectomey. You are talking about a partial (uterus only) and a full (everything) I think it's less harsh on your hormones if you only do a partial, but I'm not all that sure. I'm not sure what the benefits are to either, but personally if I can avoid a hysto I will.
