Thanks to all that replied. I had a lap on the 7th of this month and I
wasn't told my stage. I just know that I have it on both ovaries,
falopian tubes, the complete back of my uterus and my colon was binded
to my uterun (sp?) wall. I get my first shot of Lupron tomorrow morning
at 830 and I will ask then. I know the doctor is the only one I can
ask.
Thanks for all the help you guys have been giving me lately!!
