Hi Kristy,
Just got off of the phone with the nurse. She talked to the doc that
did the surgery and he said that I definately have endo...so now its
time to decide on treatment options. Any thoughts? They are suggesting
Lupron, but I really dont want to do that. I think that I will opt for
the pill. Any thougts to share on that?
thanks again!!!!
