I work every day with women who are suffering with fibroids. UFE (Uterine Fibroid Embolization) has been done safely and effectively for over 15 years in the US and is a great non-surgical treatment. The most common response from patients after this procedure is “I am FREE” because they truly are free from the burdon of fibroids and have their lives back- AND they keep their uterus!

You are right about her being an amazing doc and always putting her patient’s first. I had for years, wanted to be pregnant- to have the experience and she let me observe her delivering a baby. A craftswoman par excellence and your story offers another demonstration of the impact such a woman can have.

She was a wonderful doctor, and a loving, amazing person. Thanks for saying such kind words about her. I miss her dearly. She passed away in 2007 from colon cancer.
