You've just been told you have fibroids, whether it be a visit to the ER or to your ob/gyn doc, and your tests reveal fibroids, you've never heard of it and you're freaking...don't freak, read! This book gives you an in depth view from A to Z about being diagnosed, to monitoring your symptoms, to exploring all your options, which by the way, not everyone who has fibroids will have to have surgery...this is a personal journey of the first year from a woman who went through it...although she did end up having surgery, not all women do! I highly recommend also reading Healing Fibroids: A Doctor's Guide to a Natural Cure...these two books help you to take control over what you can, from eating, exercising and herbal teas, to surgery options(which having a hysterectomy is the LAST option, not first) and inform you of important information during a scary and stressful situation...

This book is from a patient's point of view and covers options from "ignore it" to "remove your plumbing" and everything in between. I've done quite a lot of research and this book did such a good job in considering what I am looking for in my life (planning on kids/no kids) as well as what I might be feeling about this very personal issue. I highly recommend it.
