Siggy Flicker's battle with fibroids was a blessing in disguise. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star exclusively revealed to RadarOnline.com how her fibroid surgery exposed a life-threatening health crisis.
"The last two years have been difficult for me because I had a hysterectomy," the new housewife told Radar. "I had a problem with fibroids. Even when I was pregnant they blew up with the children and they went back down to the size of a penny."
When the Write Your Own Fairytale author began feeling discomfort, she was told she needed to undergo surgery because her fibroids had become inflamed.
"During surgery they found a pre-cancerous tumor on the other ovary," the mother-of-two shared. "I had a full hysterectomy. I got hot flashes... I was high and low, and all over the place. I was very grateful for that."
The life-saving surgery wasn't the only time she went under the knife, as she revealed that in addition to a facelift, she removed her breast implants. '
