I think I may have hit the jackpot today. I have found a Dr who is a leading endo specialist and present a paper at the international endo conference this year. I thought I would have to wait for months and months to see him. I rang this morning and the person who called before me had cancelled. So I was able to see him today. I was quite apprehensive about seeing a male gyno, some people may think this is crazy, but in my profession I was privy to all the horrific details of that recently charged 'Butcher of Bega', but I went (taking my best friend with for support) and he was so good and understanding. He listened and told me what he believed was best and showed me all the research he had undertook and why he believed it would help. I am still unsure about the depo injections and he respected this. So I am scheduled to have surgery on the 20 of October at a nice private hospital and he had told me that he will not burn the endo but cut it out, as then it cannot grow back like the burning method (diathermy). So although surgery is not lots of fun, I think this might and I say might as I hope so much, be the start to the end of my pain. I think just having a doctor who really listened was so amazing as well. Thank you to all the people who replied. It is nice to know that people care and when I was in so much pain nice to know that people understand, as most people just look at you, when you mention bad period pain and look like it is just a bad excuse.
