I was diagnosed nine years ago. My doctor has recently recomended a hysterectomy. There are many hormonal treatments on the market that one can use to slow or halt the growth of endo (Some work for some people, and not for others, a they have some bad side effects.) Most doctors do a laparoscopy and remove the endo that they can see, but they can't remove microscopic endo, so it eventually returns. There is NO cure at present for endo. I have stage 4. >Endo is not cancer, although it behaves in a similar manner, but it is benign. >Having endo, may mean that your immune system is compromised, and this MAY predispose you to certain cancers.I have never heard (Personaly) of anybody dying from endo directly, and it is highly unusual that the endo 'turns' into cancer, it is more likely that you would get cancer too, and that is rare. Your friend needs to see a good endo doc that can monitor her and recomend a treatment to make her more comfortable. Perhaps she would like to join us here sometime, it really helps to speak to people who understand what you are going through. >Hope this has helped. >((((HUGS)))) >LAUREN
