Hi - this is very interesting to me bc. I had surgery with Dr. Kanayama a month ago after a failed 1st surgery and he said the surgery was very successful and all of the endo. is gone. I have stage III as well. Although, I am still having the same pain LEFT SIDED PAIN if not a little worse and I don't feel that it is all gone. I think that I may have endo in the wall of my uterus as well but he says he doesn't see it. I am very frustrated bc. I know that something is still not right. How long did it take for him to realize he had missed the mass in your uterus? What did your pain feel like? I am so frustrated and would love to hear any advice you can give me! Congratulations on your pregnancy.

Thanks so much. Kelly
