Anna,
I just saw your posts and want you to know that I am praying for you and
your husband. I have been having a lot of pain today and the same
thought went through my head...that I promised myself not to let endo
get the best of me or keep me from my life..and yet sometimes it feels
like it's just too much. I hope and pray that you find some relief soon
and that your husband is able to beat his cancer as well.
Barbara
