Terry describes her motivation for sharing her uterine fibroid experience.

Terry:
Well, quite honestly, I want them to be just as happy as I am. As much as, you know, having a baby is a lifelong dream and it’s such a success to feel like that you are sick and that you can be healed in a sense. But I don’t want someone to think that they are the only one and that nothing can be done because most of the time they get, you know, a lot of women get told like, “Don’t worry about it. Just keep them in there. They are not bothering you.” And I am sure to some extent that’s true, but it could really impede having, you know, children.

So, for me, I would want them, especially the number one thing I probably should have said is, you need to have an embolization because you don’t want to be in pain anymore. It is really horrible pain if you let them get so big and they are making your menstrual periods absolutely horrible.
