Re: awaiting another possible surgery ...5 in 7 years

I don't have a solution for you, but I can imagine how frustrated you
are. I have stage IV endo and went through 2 surgeries last year. No
pain for me; I have recurrent cysts. It's so frustrating having more
every month. I've started continuous birth control now to help. I'm
only 31 (young like you) and it's disgusting to think of how many years
of this I have ahead of me. Not to mention that I appear unable to have
children :(
It sounds like you're doing all you can. I hope you get relief soon!
