Congrats on : Your success with synovial sarcoma. Fibroids almost never 'convert' to cancer, but can be an associated cause of infertility and dysfunctional uterine bleeding. There are ways of ablating the fibroids without hysterectomy. Fibroids are very common. Celebrate your success and do not worry about these unless symptomatic or an issue with wanting to be preganant.
