You will always be able to carry on- on understand that you are going through a difficult time because i have been there myself. You must have hope, that is one of the main things that is going to get you onto the road of recovery. Even if this surgery doesn't work there are other options. You may want to speak with your doc about the feelings you are having right know, it sounds you are truly depressed and there is medication out there to help. If he can't get the endo and your still in pain after the surgery you can go to see a pain management specialist or anesthesiologist who can help manage your pain so you are comfortable and can function like a normal person. Please don't give up we are just an email away. Let us know how it goes.
