I have actually been to your site a few months back. I think it is
great that you track your experience for others. I know it was of value
to me. I should read up on the updates!
I haven't read much about Zoladex or know people who have taken it. I
will keep positive thoughts for you that you get pain relief.
Dr. R said not to do any hormone therapy since he got it all out. My
follow-up doctor (who has sat in on a surgery done by Dr. R) wants me
to take Lupron for 4 months to suppress the ovaries (since I had so much
Endo).....I said NO WAY!!!
Thanks for your response and best wishes to you!
