Lake Tahoe, CA > Kelly, Thanks for your response. As endo was on the bladder, ureters, and intestines, and in fact required a bowel resection, mine would definitely fall into the extensive category. I have read some confusing statistics, on the odds of endo returning post hysterectomy. If I read the stats right, since I did have a bilateral oophorectomy, my odds of a recurrence are maybe around 30%. Is that correct? If that is correct, are there any other measures, I can take, to decrease the odds further? Thanks, Joanne aka suzieq@erols.com in southern, NJ
