Hi Irene,
I read your post and I just want you to know that you are not alone.
Just 2 days ago, I too was faced with the choice of taking Lupron after undergoing
2 surgeries for endo., my last surgery being only a month ago.
Only those who have been through it understands the stress you go through just trying to
make the decision...but only you can make that decision, no doctor, no husband, no
parent can and because we dont have a crystal ball we will never know if its the
right decision to do so or not to do so.
So dont beat up on yourself because you chose not to. Unlike you, I did and today is my
second day and I sometimes wonder if I did the right thing... I have started to feel a tightening
up of my neck muscle...but that could be stress. Everything that happens to me I wonder
if it is as a result of it...so the point is even if you did you still wouldnt
know if you did the right thing. The only thing I can say to you is that I prayed for
God's guidance before I did it...I said to him, I dont know if its the right thing...only you know
but I am going to let go and let God.
I Know not everybody believes in a higher being...but thats all I have my faith
and I know if he brings me to it he will take me through it.
I just want you to know that you are not alone...there are millions of us out there who too
have to make the difficult choice. Be strong with your decision...dont feel that you
have let your doc down because no doc. knows the cure for endo. You are a beautiful person
and just know that youre not alone...we are all here to support each other.
My best wishes and love to you.
Janice
