Hi there

I joined last night for the first time and posted my message in 'Introduce yourself'.Just found this section on endo & decided to write a message here as it is more specific to my needs.

I have history of endo+bowel problems+adhesions (have been misdiagnosed for years)+ constant pain +suffering, esp. last 2 yrs.5/7 ago blood test for cancer cells (CA125)came back positive, raised to 65, indicative of ?hemorrhage cyst,?ovarian cancer who knows.GP suggesting urgent laparoscopy. Understand it may be complex, esp if endo is on bowels.

I was wondering if any of you nice people could recommend gyno endo specialist and specialist bowel surgeon in Melbourne. I was not satisfied with GP referral as gyno was local & nonspecialist.I need surgery fast and don't know who to choose to operate on me. I haven't had kids & am very scared.Have no private insurance (on wait.list til April), so have to go public. Which hospital should I go to, does it matter. 2yrs ago I had same problem with CA125 but it was hamorrhage cyst which was removed by laparoscopy. Not sure if it's same again or worse this time. Please let me know asap, if your have any info.

p.s.Has anyone been cared by Prof.Peter Maher. Thoughts please.

Greatly appreciate your help.
Warm regards
