    Fibrosis

    Hi All....
    I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this. Fibroids run in the females of my family. My mother had a complete Hysterectomy due to Fibroid tumors, (she also died suddenly at 59 with what we now suspect was HCM), my oldest sister eventually had to have a Hysterectomy, due to fibroids in her uterus, and my other sister had a Hysterectomy due to large fibroids in her overies. I never developed them in my uterus or overies, but I did develope fibrosis in my left breast and had to have a large tumor removed 5 years ago. Is there a link with these types of fibrosis and the fibrosis that occurs in our hearts with HCM?
