Vivian, One thing that has been stressed to me throughout my experience is that your level of pain does not necessarily reflect your level of disease. My doctors have told me, and I have read elsewhere, that some women can live almost their entire lives with extreme cases of endo and never know it- and some women may have relatively little disease and be in extreme chronic pain. I am sure your doctor may want to suggest some type of surgery to release your organs. Just do plenty of research and be ready with questions. There are alot of medications- Lupron, Danazol, Progesterone...many things to look into to help keep the endo at bay. I am scheduled for my second lap in a month. The doc plans to remove the endo and any possible adhesions and follow up immediately with progesterone to try to keep the endo from growing for awhile. My disease is not as advanced as yours (last lap I had no adhesions and the endo was concentrated to a specific area), but I'm one of those chronic pain people. Unfortunately this disease has no rhyme or reason and follows no rules. Best of luck to you. Alyson
