Recommendations for a second opinion please....

Hello Ladies,

I'm new to this site. I really wish I'd found it earlier!

I'm currently trying to decide which consultant to try for a second opinion and was wondering if anyone could give me recommendations or people to avoid please? I know that you're not allowed to say anything on the post but wondered if you could pm me with replies. I've heard good things about Natalia Price so would be very interested to hear anything about her. I live in Norwich which is where I've already been. The consultant and I have agreed I'll get a second opinion. I'm willing to travel for the right treatment.

Very long story short, I have already had chocolate cysts removed twice, a hysterectomy and total pelvic excision. Unfortunately a cyst has returned on my left ovary. I'm trying to find a sympathetic consultant to my complex health issues, as I also have ME and an underactive thyroid.

I originally wanted both my ovaries removed as I don't want to go through all this again. However, I'm not too keen on going through sudden menopause either, so thought that just removing the one would be a good idea, but the consultant insists I take Zoladex and Tibolone first. I really really don't want to do that as I feel they'll affect my ME symptoms that I've worked so hard to get as balanced as possible. So, if there are any recommendations for a consultant who may be sympathetic to this situation I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this x
