Yes Hun. Been on Zoladex for six months which have helped. Having hysterectomy, ovary removal and excision on Thursday. I have a 11cm endometrioma on/in my left ovary , right ovary and tube are badly effected and bowel stuck to uterus. So yes I know exactly what you're going through, you're not alone. If you need anything let me know.

Hi Hun getting nervous. Had a bad wobble yesterday so decided not to go to work. I think it finally hit me that this is it. I had my last injection on 27th January. Was initially told my op would be January but because he's such a good surgeon his waiting list was so long. Got date back in December I think it was. I think the injections are starting to wear off though as I've been in more pain the last couple of days. I'd actually forgotten what it was like before, and I didn't realise what a difference the Zoladex had made.not looking forward to having to be in hospital for three days and being separated from my husband. We've only spent one night apart since we got together and that was the night before our wedding. I hope the injections give you some relief. I would recommend you take evening primrose oil and sage leaf tablets , one of each twice a day for the hot flushes they really help. Take Hun let me know if you need anything.

Thank you Hun. I actually lost weight lol. Didn't really have an impact on sex drive as sex has been so painful anyway. Hoping that will change after op. Will let you know how I'm doing when I get home. Take care Hun.keep in touch.
