Fibroid Tumors - Question

Not sure if this is the correct board, if not - please direct me. I have been diagnosed with having two very large fibroid tumors in my uterous (spelling). They are each the size of a very large grapefruit. I am trying to put off surgery for awhile due to work issues at our office. I understand fibroid tumors will shrink once you begin menopause and even if you are in menopause, however my doctor told me I am in peri-menopause and I am wondering if my fibroid tumors will continue to grow until I have surgery. I do not plan on having any more children and because I don't want to deal with the chances of having them grow back - I am having a hystericetmy (spelling again). My real question here is ... Because I am still producing A LOT of estrogen, will my fibroid tumors continue to grow?
Thank you for your help.
