Advice please, for first gynae appt for recent Endo diagnoses

Hi. Just looking for a bit of advice. Diagnosed with endometriosis last March following salping-oophorectomy, thought previously to be ovarian cancer. As pathology came back clear- thank goodness, was referred back to GP.

GP not willing until recently to refer me to anyone about ongoing Endo symptoms and worsening pain, as she said with removal of ovaries that this would have ‘cured me’! I don’t believe this is correct.

So grudgingly after fighting my corner, she agreed to refer me back to gynae. My question- long winded, I apologise, is what questions and support would you ask/expect from your gynae appointment?

Many thanks Bee
