Hi Debs,
My sis is moving to Morecambe in Lancashire(in the Northwest??). She
also has PCOS and we are beginning to suspect endo...so she could sure
use a good referral. I've heard they have a good clinic in Scotland,
but she is hoping for something closer. Glad to have a sister for her
to ask!
luck and love,
