Hi everyoneš I was diagnosed with Endo early last year (even though Iām certain Iāve had it for about 9 years). Basically they found an ovarian cyst on one of my ovaries last year, confirmed via MRI that it was an endometrioma and I was placed on the waiting list for surgery. After waiting around for over a year now, I went in for another scan as blood tests showed that I had very high CA125 levels (the normal range is 0-34, I came out with a smashing 100!š). I was referred for a scan which has now shown that I have a second endometrioma on my other ovary (yay!). My GP said sheāll write to my hospital and ask them to put me further up on the list to have the lap done sooner rather than later.
Iāve read a lot of lap stories and for the most part what Iāve read hasnāt turned out great in various ways. My two biggest fears are early reoccurrence and needing a stoma bag post surgery.
I say all of this to ask are there any positive post-lap stories that anyone can share to give a bit of hope?
