I have had fibromas removed before. Iam just a little nervous. It has been so long ago (1999) Deep breathe. The only thing I hate is (the bigger fatter ones) tend to bleed after the stiches are gone and sometimes that can be embarrasing...especially if it's on the back of your leg.Ladies you know what I mean.Anyways, wish me luck. I know I will be alright. It's just been so long, i forgot how long the recovery process takes. He said I should be alright to do the marathon in March. I hope so.
