In Part One of Toya Johnson’s “My Fibroid Journey,” the We TV Star recounts how uterine fibroids impacted her life and career. After years of suffering, Toya had ten fibroids removed through a myomectomy procedure in 2018.
“It was almost like having a c-section again.”
Toya says of the surgery that was as painful as giving birth to Reginae, her daughter with ex-husband rapper Lil Wayne.
Johnson was drawn to creating a vlog to chronicle her experience in real time after her role in USA Fibroid Center’s “I Have a Right” campaign, that informed thousands of women about choices other than hysterectomy to treat fibroids.
Back in the Fight: Fibroids Return
The series returns with Toya once again forced to navigate the complex world of fibroid treatment with the new diagnosis seeking a less invasive approach with her desire to have another child.
Toya Johnson’s world is turned upside down as she shares with her fans from her We TV show, Toya and Reginae, that she’s been battling another health crisis. A recurrence of fibroids is causing her significant exhaustion and pain while taking an emotional toll.
“I had fibroids before, and I did a myomectomy. This time, the fibroids are back and worse.”
Teary-eyed, Toya breaks the news to her husband, Robert “Red” Rushing, about what the doctor has told her about her condition. Red is shocked as he had no idea that fibroids could regrow after a myomectomy.
“Wait, another surgery, like the same thing, removing them?”
