I think you have just help answer my question. My youngest gets so distressed
when he sees me in pain and my Fiance gets in a flap. I am going to go on
Thursday to ask for a partial hyst see if they will take everything but my right
ovary which is fine. Although I have had Endo for 3 years+ I was only diagnosed
in May, The docs may say I havent given the treatment a chance but I am going o
fight for it.
Thank you
Take care of you
