I thought this book was very informative and educational. I have a fibroid that I have been told is not removable due to it being submucosal. The information in this book has led me to believe I need to get a second opinion. Maybe there is an end to this fibroid without a hysterectomy. I really hope so. I do find myself lucky that I don't have multiple fibroids. The one is painful enough. I love the thorough explanations an guidance in this book. It has been truly helpful. Thank you to Tanika Gray Valbrun and Soyini Hawkins, MD for writing it. Thank you to John Murray Press US | Sheldon Press and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

From Fibroids to Freedom blends personal experience with practical guidance for women navigating uterine fibroids. Tanika Gray Valbrun shares her own journey while explaining treatment options, questions to ask healthcare providers, and ways to advocate for yourself throughout the process. One section that stood out was the discussion of the emotional toll fibroids can take alongside the physical symptoms, reminding readers that the condition affects far more than just their health.

The book strikes a thoughtful balance between education and encouragement without minimizing how difficult this experience can be. The information is presented in a way that feels accessible, and the author's firsthand perspective adds credibility and compassion throughout. My sincere thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a free advance review copy.
