Hi Tara from FL,

Your thought is a good one. When I first spoke with Dr. Sinervo he told me that 80% of women have a very good quality of life after Exsicion surgery. I do believe in what you are saying about having Endo in rare places and doctors not even knowing it is there. In that case I believe it would not work. Right now though, this surgery is all the hope I have left. I'm grasping on to this with both hands refusing to let go. And boy are my hands and arms hurting right now. (LOL). My sentiments are even if I have 50% less pain for a couple of years it will be well worth the cost for me. I'm going into this with optimism but still cautious. No one or nothing else has helped me so what the hey, what do I have to lose except a lot of money? Money can't make me healthy. After reading so much about exsicion surgery I do believe it is the way for me to go. It may not be the chance to take for everyone but I have talked to a lot of women who have had this surgery and they are very pleased with their lives. One woman I found on the internet told me that she had this surgery 8 years ago and has had absolutely NO pain. What a blessing that would be. The CEC gave me info on patients that had surgery there. I spoke with them and I spoke with people who I just found on my own. I've not ran across one person who has had surgery there that does not rave about how they are feeling. I don't know if they are "getting it all out" or not but whatever these doctors are doing is working. So now all there is to do is wait. I'd also like to hear other people's takes on this subject. It will be interesting to hear what everyone has to say. Thanks for bringing this up. I wish you many pain free days in your future.
