Is this being prescribed by a specialist endo centre while you wait for surgery? The injections might shrink endometriomas as they are composed mostly of old blood (the endo is in the cyst wall) and inflammation but they don't reverse endo and it can still progress while on them. They are only given to help with pain and aren't a treatment for severe endo and aren't intended to be given long term but I understand the wait for surgery in endo centres is long. .
