>>Hey Everyone,
>>
>>I was at the gyny today, (with hubby) and we have decided to put me on a
>>six monthly course of injections, the drug is called décapeptyl s.r.
>>
>>I am presuming that this drug is the same as Lupron, so far what what I
>>have seen on the company'ss web site, it seems to be.
>>
>>I have told the doctor that I want to be sent to a specialist, which he is
>>doing. i wasn't too happy with him at all, he even mentioned maybe getting
>>pregnant after the first round of treatments. This was after he said that
>>in past times doctors used to prescribe getting pregnant as a treatment
>>for endo!
>>
>>This kind of annoyed me a bit, especially as my husband was with me, and I
>>had already told the dr.( and had my hubby) that we had already decided
>>that we would continue to wait until we were about 30 ( uhoh I am 29
>>already! lol)
>>
>>He also came out with other stuff that I wasn't too happy with, like he
>>said that the endo wouldn't ever come back as bad as it was before the
>>lap. and he kept saying that my stage 2 endo wasn't that bad.
>>
>>I mean, he was a nice guy and all, but sorry!,,uhuh!,,,,no thank you, plus
>>the fact that I was there at 9am for my 9am appointment, and he was still
>>on his rounds in the wards until 10.30am (I know this because my sister is
>>a nurse in the hospital, and she was doing the rounds with him) So,
>>needless to say, considering that I had a meeting at 11am I was fairly
>>hopping mad by the time he saw me!
>>
>>Sorry to ramble on, but I am a bit depressed tonight, which is totally
>>alien to me, Its kind of like, now that I have to go onto treatments,
>>there is no going back.
>>
>>So what I would like to know, If you have got this far,,,lol,,,,and you
>>aren't asleep by now,,,lol....Has anyone every used this drug?..and id so,
>>what were your experiences with it?
>>
>>Wishing you all a good painfree night,
