Thanks for your advice!In response to what you just wrote, Mandy, I saw
another dr. this afternoon who referred me somewhere else. He doesn't
WANT me to get pregnant yet, but the sooner the better so I don't have
more damage. And he also suggested Lupron. So I see someone else on
April 16 to review my options. That gives me a little hope. But
doesn't it feel like it will never end!???
