Hello hello, 
So I decided to document my process and time at the hospital during my surgery. In there I tell my story of how I found out that I had fibroids, what the doctors advised and how the whole procedure went.
With this video, I announce my new charity foundation called “BEAUTIFUL INSIDE” Out first project aims at creating more awareness on fibroids and to help other women going through it deal with it in the best ways available.
