I'm not one to disagree with a physician, but I have never heard of endometriosis turning into cancer (maybe there is such a valid viewpoint). There is an endometrial cancer. There is also adenomyosis (endometriosis in the uterine wall) which is not cancerous.

If you want relief with the possibility of not having a hysterectomy, contact the doctors at http://www.centerforendo.com in Atlanta. They will review your records and make a recommendation for you.

They excise the endo from the reproductive organs to the digestive organs all the way up to the duodenum with scopes so there is a shorter recovery than with abdominal surgery (a vaginal hysterectomy can leave endo behind). If they think you need a hysterectomy, they will be honest about it.

I am almost 36 myself and have one good week a month as well. I feel for you. I am at a crossroads now too in deciding what to do. I hope to make my decision in the next month or so. I also have degenerating fibroids that appeared this past year, postpartum with my daughter.

I wish you the best and no pain!

The cancer was in part of the uterus, the right ovary and one small patch on the left side in abdomen. Everywhere's else was clean as far as could be seen.
