Zoladex treatment

Hi, am 28 and am on zoladex as a last resort after my bowel is connected to my bladder my chocolate spots have increased and a large complex lump in my ovary. I now have to pay for it and am in more pain then I have ever been. I'm a nightmare and feel sorry for the people around me my mood swings are crazy! I was never told I had to pay for the treatment and am wondering where to go from here? Stop the treatment? Or shell out the £100+ a year for the worst treatment so far? Any advise would be appreciated

England, I've never paid for my treatments before I've had 2 laps, 2 marinas, bowel biopsies and hormonal treatment

My first was done by gynae when I got diagnosed then my 2nd was a yr and s half ago. Then the lump was found 2 months ago by mri after sever pain and they could see the bowel connected to bladder and more spots. They've said to be on zoladex for a year to hopefully shrink lump, and said that things will detatch and stop the pain but I feel worse then ever
