If it helps, I had MRI/ CAT, multiple ultrasounds, colonoscopy, all sorts of other tests because I wanted to be sure that I have nothing else before making the decision for surgery. Every test came out clear. I just had a lap a few weeks ago and was diagnosed with mild endo.

Find a specialist if you can afford it or at least talk with one over the phone or something. The biggest favour you can do yourself is, when you have surgery, have it done from a specialist or a very experienced surgeon.

Best of luck.
