Hi Stacy,

Does your doctor have any other plan of action other than surgery at this point? Have you tried anything else besides surgery and surgery? Maybe it's worth getting a second opinion.

I don't know if this is any help at all but... I've started seeing a new gp who does alternative healing. I have no idea if it's going to help but I am going to give it a try. She is a regular md - I mean she went to medical school - but when she was 30 she had 2 laps and then a hysterectomy to "cure" her endo. It came back.

After that she decided to cure herself. I've only met with her a couple of times so I don't know what that entailed but I do know it has to do with holistic healing.

I totally understand why you are confused and scared. Having to make a decision about children when you are not ready to have them is overwhelming! If it is any comfort though even your current doctor says you have a couple of years. I know that's not a long time but it is time. You don't have to decide anything right now.

I'm sorry I don't have any better advice :o) but I am thinking that maybe now is a time to find out all you can about every possible treatment. And again maybe get a second or third or fourth opinion!

Merry Christmas.

Take care, Sue
