I got some bad news, now I don't know what to do...

I can't stop crying.......Thursday I went in for an ultrasound and they found Adenomyasis (Endo deep inside my uterine wall) and the doctor said this can't be reached or removed with laparscopic tools during surgery. He said the only way to get that kind of endo is to take Lupron to shrink it and your body will absorb it naturally. The doctor also said there is massive lesions around my ovaries and probably my bowels too. For all of you who have read my posts, you know I am totally against Lupron and scared to death of it. Now, I am thinking....do i get the surgery at all??? My insurance only pays half and the cost is $25,000! He said even if he got it all, but NOT the adenomyasis, I could still have the same pain I have now.

I'm wondering now if a hysterectomy would get rid of the adenomyasis? I don't have kids, but would be willing to give up my uterus if I could just be pain free. I would rather do that than take Lupron too. But, I am wondering what your body feels like without a uterus. I would keep my ovaries. But I hear that your organs fall, and your insides feel different after a hysterectomy. Would sex feel the same? I have all these questions. Please give me some advice if you know about hysterectomies....I think that may be my only option now.
