Billy Joel’s wife, Alexis, is sharing her personal health battle in a post on her husband’s social media accounts.
Noting that March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, she shouted out props to her “earth angel” Dr. Tamer Seckin.
“We all have war stories, and I am no different: years of pain, misdiagnosis, failed surgeries, followed by internal bleeding, and most importantly, Doctor after Doctor telling me I was fine. I ran the gamut from ‘it’s all in your head’ to ‘just get a hysterectomy,’” she wrote.
“I had gone to my third ER out of excruciating pain. I was non-functional. This was the moment I just started researching specialists and everything pointed me to him,” she added.
“One surgery later, 27 legions removed, one less appendix and my entire abdominal cavity rid of this horrible disease. I am forever grateful,” she wrote.
Alexis, 42, went on to praise Seckin for the work he does with the Endometriosis Foundation of America.
“Our family has privately supported this work, but in honor of March being Endometriosis Awareness Month, I wanted to do my part to help others who are unheard,” she added. “It is a tough road but believe in yourself and find your earth angel - they are out there!”

Alexis Roderick married Billy Joel on the Fourth of July in 2015 after they met in 2009. Their wedding was officiated by former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. They have two daughters together, Della Rose born in 2005, and Remy Anne, born in 2017.
She’s Joel’s fourth wife, following previous marriage to Elizabeth Weber in the ‘70s and ‘80s, model Christie Brinkley from 1985-1994 and chef Katie Lee from 2004-2009. Joel and Brinkley share daughter Alexa Ray Joel, 39.
Joel also recently went through a health crisis of sorts that forced him to postpone several performances until next year, revealing "a medical condition" had necessitated the “Piano Man” to undergo recent surgery and would require physical therapy for the next several months—meaning that he won't be able to go on with several previously scheduled dates.
