Hi Amy
Thanks for replying.
They found endo and leisons on my bowel in my 2nd lap but they wanted to
see if it was inside the bowel through the colonoscopy. What symptoms
do you suffer from with bowel endo and what treatment are you on? I am
being referred to a specialist in a good hospital so that should help. I
was admitted to hospial for 5 days about a month ago and its getting
worse!! I have no idea what to do becuase I don't want to take lupron as
they tell me my endo is only stage 2. At the moment I have the mirena
in (and haven't bled for 10 months!) but not sure whether that is
contributing to my pain as I have adenomyosis.
Sorry to go on - just need advice.
Thanks again
