Today’s Jill Martin Details 2-Year Battle With Fibroids

“I’ve been with the show for 13 years,” Jill began, “and our viewers, you know, we share the good. And I think as a family to find strength, you have to share the bad.”

Continuing to spread awareness, she emphasized that fibroids are “fixable.”  

“Historically, you think that hysterectomy is the only option…so you deal with it and you deal with the pain,” Jill explained, “and you see the way my body was. I didn’t look like me or feel like me, and the pain was so unbearable. And the thought of not being able to carry children—although that’s not in my plan right now—wasn’t an option for me.”

“And so to be exposed to these other options that so many women don’t know about,” she added, “is why I’m sharing this.”
