Hi
I can see gradual improvements on a weekly basis moreso than daily... i still need to be as close to the toilet as possible whereever i go. The diarrohea is slowly subsiding in terms of not needing to run to the toilet in order to make it on time.
I went to my post op gynae appt who advised my endo was very extensvie and widespread and amongst the worse he has seen in terms of it being everywhere. He drew a diagram and the diagram had me in tears as my organs that he drew were covered in spots which represented endo. My large bowel had endo shaved off it and a bit of that removed, 40 cm of small bowel removed and a massive nodule whihc was stuck to my rectum. My appendix was cut as was my bladder, POD ovaries and tubes. Surgery took 4.5 hours. He was sure he got it all though and so i can now say i am disease free.

I am going on Synarel to "turn off my periods" to try and keep my pelvis in good order for when i decide to have children. From what i have read you should only be on it for 6 months but he wants me on it for 2-3 years if thats how long i want to wait until i have kids which is really scary.
I am vfery afraid of the side effects as I am 25 and about to start feeling menopausal effects! He told me i need to do this as if i dont prevent the endo from coming back then my bowels wont be able to handle it and i may end up with a colostomy bag (again i burst into tears!!)... apparently i will ineveitably need a hysterectomy...
