Thanks for the feedback. This is a new doctor and seems very
knowledgable. It has been suggested by a couple docs that I do have
Adeno and during the last 2 lap, endo was found on both ovaries, and
other areas, as well as adhesions and paratubal cysts.
I will have alook at the article. thanks so much
