So i saw my Gynae yesterday and i thought more surgery would be offered? But nope. He said at last appountment that he didnt want to opperate again so soon, but it looks like he meant at all. Anyway. So now im being put forward for that Aromatase Inhibitor. Its not available on the NHS (although i think it is for breast cancer), but he thinks because ive tried everything and im a severe case i have a good shot of getting it. I know its used in parts of the EU for endometriosis treatment. Anyone any information on it?

I haveone question only, is this gynea in a bsge accredited hospital and on the bsge list? If not i would get a referral to one as stated under the nice guidelines. X

Yes he is BSGE. What does the guidlines entail? Ive had everything from complex surgery, to pill, to zoladex x2 and my endo doesnt respond to anything. Thats why hes suggested trying these 'new pills'. They aint new, they use them in Europe, Germany for sure. Its just they aint licenced for Endometriosis treatment here *yet* therefore not available on NHS, but he seems to think ill get them? I just hope they aint like Zoladex. Xx
