A Newie with Stage 5 Endo - Advice?

[Mumszword]

Its good to hear from all you girls. Thanks so much for sharing.

I went to see the specialist in Sydney

He confirmed I have very significant Endo with bowel involvement and cul de sac obliteration and ovarie involvement too. But he left me feeling confident that he will be able to help.

He says that I really have one option available due to the extent of the endo and that is surgery. Hormone therapy won't work and he said its too far gone to use the lets see what happens approach. He is hoping to complete the surgery via about 6 key holes. I am also more than likely going to need bowel resection too...I have been told to expect at least 6 week recovery period....

I am now waiting for dates of when the surgery will be done.

Michelle, not sure about the clomid as I am so new to all of this. Up to 4 weeks ago I knew nothing about endo.....I have been TCC naturally so have not looked at hormone therapy. It has been like a whirl wind with learning about the disorder and how to treat etc.

Thanks again to everyone who has replied and shared. Would love to hear how you are all travelling with being diagnosed, treatment and also TCC.

Take care and kind regards
