Hello Traci! Well i am glad to hear that you are having pain free days!!
And you are right a hyst isnt for everyone, and we do know that endo can
come back,but i am happy to know that it has worked for you!! Im only
24, so a hyst isnt really an option yet. I do have a daughter (she's 7)
i was a very young mommy! But things do happen for a reason and maybe in
the future i will be thinking of a hyst. So, we will see how it goes
after i take my lupron shot! Take Care, and i pray you continue having
pain free days!!! Steph ;)
