Q: can a doctor tell the difference between fibroids and uterine cancer in an abdominal ultrasound and how can a doctor tell the difference?

: Yes the location and appearance differ. Ask as often as you wish, the answer will not change. Repeating the same question over &amp; over expecting a different answer is not considered normal behavior. Perhaps you should seek out a life coach to teach you some stress management skills.
