How I Survived Fibroid Kemi Adetiba. Popular music video director and film maker, Kemi Adetiba battled with fibroid and came out successful after her surgery. She said I battled with an extreme case of vibroids in secret for many years. When I say extreme, I mean EXTREME. From being rushed to the ER where the intence PAIN wouldn't even allow me cry, to being dangerously close to death because of anaemia, to the physical changes, the mental and emotional roller coaster it takes nor only YOU, but your loved ones privy to the information. Even with all the resources available to me, it was difficult making the right choices.I had one Doctor in NY tell me that I would have to take out my womb, that my case was that bad. smh. I was like Errrrmm I haven't had kid yet. I got a nonchalant "sorry" and a kanye-shrug.
