kim,
i am so sorry to hear this. i know how hard it can be sometimes. i am
26, not married and no kids so i am kinda in the same boat. i have not
scheduled a hysterectomy, but it looks kinda like all avenues point that
direction. i don't know your husband or ya'lls situation, i am sure he
loves you and understands. it is frustrating to try to handle life,
school, and endo but hang in there -- at some point things can only get
better : )
