A RantFrom: Stacey (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed Jan 10 15:51:21 2007
So, this is my first post and I feel the need to vent. Mostly because some of you will have, unfortunately, gone through the same experience. I only found out I had endo. when I had my son via c-section 3 years ago. My gyno said it was probably one of the worst cases she had ever seen. Yeah, nice. I basically had no knowledge of endo. and my gyno. did not aggresively suggest any suppression of my condition. So, flash forward to November 2006 when it was discovered that I had a football size endometrioma taking over one of my ovaries. Please take note that I hardly felt any pain at all during this whole time!! I only went in for my annual pap smear. So, after about a month of thinking I was dying of cancer, they finally cut me open (the long way) to get it out. It was not cancer and I am sincerely grateful. I guess I am quite upset that I did not take further steps to educate myself about endometriosis. I had no idea whatsoever that it could grow large masses in your body! I'm getting ready to start a course of Lupron and would like to hear from others as to their experiences with this drug. I don't even like to take asprin so taking medication like this gives me pause. Sorry for this thread to sound so bitter but I just want others to take time to research their condition fully. Thanks for listening!!
