Thanks Jillian and Melissa, No I do not have a hx of cancer in my family and I have no intention of removing my ovaries. If it were not for the adenomyosis and pelvic congestion I would not remove my uterus. I hate that I am but the pain has finally gotten to be too much. I have two kids and do not want to be in such pain everday. I have stage 3 endo and do realize that I will still have issues in the future but maybe I can get rid of some of my pain. My sis-in-law may not have meant to make me feel bad. But, she went on and on and gave everyone else those "poor Ada" eyes as if I do not know what I am doing. It makes me so angry. I am an educated woman and have done my research as most of us have done. Who would tell another person you are going to get cancer? Anyway thank you for responding. Ir is so nice to have a place to turn to. Luckily, my husband saw I was upset and was extra sweet. Ada At Sat, 30 Jun 2007, M wrote: >
