Hi Jen,
First of all, I don't feel your doctor can put a deadline on your
decisions. You have to be the one to put a deadline on your decisions,
when and if you feel the need to do that! Your doctor is your partner in
health care not your ruler.
If you decide to go ahead with a hysterectomy you should seek out a
doctor who specializes in endometriosis, so that you can be sure that
through excision, they have removed all endo before they remove your
reproductive organs.
If you become a member of the Endometriosis Association you can request
a physican contact list for your state and a member contact list so that
you can do your homework and find the best surgeon to meet your needs.
Also, there is a website, that lists surgeons by state that have a
special interest in endometriosis. http://www.endowisdom.com
Best wishes,
Kim

>Hi, I just found this web site, and I am new to all of this. I was just told last week that I need a historectomy or I could try Lupron. I looked up Lupron and did not like what I saw. I am 34, and have one child who is 11. I was not prepared for what my Dr. told me. I thought she would just go in and laser things again. I have had 2 laser surgery's for endo. I did have about a 4 year period between surgery's. My last one was in Jan. 2002. At the same time I had my tubes tied, and went off the pill. That made my endo grow like crazy! I am in pain all the time, to the point of that I have to lay down and curl in a ball with a heating pad, which does not help much. And they have only given me Anaprox for the pain. I would just like any info anyone could give me about Lupron or the benefits of having a Historeectomy, at this point I am open to just about anything to get rid of the pain. Thanks so much for letting me get this off my chest. Thanks again Jen.
