Dear Sally,

There is a new study starting in September for endometriosis using a new medication. This is NOT a lupron like drug. It has very few side effects and is a new approach to the treatment of endometriosis. All medical expenses are covered. The study lasts for 3 months. If interested call Clinical Research of Washington at 206-923-2878.
