Is It Possible To Have Surgery To Remove Fibroid But Keep Uterus?

I have been diagnosed with a 10x18 cm fibroid. My OBGYN suggests a hysterectomy because I am 51 and finished bearing children. My uterus is distended and I guess the tumor/uterus is the size of a 5 month pregnancy. My question is this: can I have a surgery to remove fibroid but keep uterus? My doc was concerned the uterus would be destroyed if he tried to do that because of it s size . I would prefer not to have uterus removed if there are other options. I don t know if myomectomy is an option for me.
