Hey Honey,
I would go for the lap. Even if it turns out to not be Endo-they might
be able to see what it is while they are in there:) If you go for it-you
will either have a definate yes or no to Endo-but atleast it is one
condition you can cross off your list of testing! So I would get it
done. I hope that this small letter does something for you-Good Luck.
