I Want to be Tina Turner

When is a fibroid not a fibroid?
Ladies of a Certain Age know what I'm talking about.
These opportunistic "aliens" ride the perimenopausal estrogen express like kids ride Universal Studios' Incredible Hulk thrill ride.
Fibroid tumors are a sort of benign roller coaster, twisting and turning with a woman's hormonal surges. The buggers can become symptomatic and plunge a woman deep into the Land of Anemia.
Around that point, ladies drag themselves into the gyn's office, seeking relief, and may hear really scary words like like "fast growing" and "it's own blood supply" and hysterectomy.
Fibroids are almost always benign, or not cancerous, and they rarely turn into cancer (less than 0.1 percent of cases).
This fibroid hormonal fact did not prevent my medical professional from tossing the big "C" word into the conversation like a crouton on a much need iron-rich diet.
That's when it hit me.
I want to be Tina Turner.
The woman is a phenom. The face, the hair, the body, the infamous legs...yep, I'll take one of those.
To put it all in perspective...Tina was born in 1938.
Obviously, the gal is a Poster Child for great genes. But Tina-not only does she have a great bod, she's got great attitude.
With a capital A.
And that's what I want to be...a future sexy senior with a kicking 'tude.
With the mental image of Tina Turner implanted firmly in the Happy Place in my mind, I made a call on the specialist recommended by my gyn.
Those nasty fibroids appear to be just that-nasty little pain in the uterus fibroids.
With modern medical science seated waaaay in the back car, I'm roller coastin' my way to personal Phenom-Dom.
Thanks, Tina.
