Thank you, Dr. Goldfarb...

I am doing great with the Endo..or lack thereof :). I had excision by Robert Albee, MD in 1998 and as of my hyst this past Nov 2007, there is not a trace of Endo anywhere!!! I had read on a listserv someone thought you might do excision, so I was checking this out, so if you are in fact doing so, we can make sure people have your name!!

You are right, complete excision is the only way to remove Endo!
