risks?

Hi, I just wish to know exactly what should I do? I was diagnosed with a uterine fibroid about 2 years ago. Last year my Dr. told me it was 7cm, but I shouldn’t do anything to it, just leave it there. This year when I went to follow up on it, they found out it grew to 12cm. My Dr. had told me I needed surgery, but after he knew where it was located, he told me there was a high risk I could loose my uterus (it is very close to the endometrium). I went for a second opinion and the Dr. told me the same; however, he gave the option of consulting a radiologist and getting UFE. I am nervous about the procedure and the risks, consequences. I am 29 and never had children… I would really like to know my chances of having a successful UFE and having children in the future.
