Dear fellow warriors,
I'm 28 and I'm reaching out today to share my experience with endometriosis and to seek support from those who may have experienced a similar situation.
In 2019, I underwent surgery to address stage 4 endometriosis, hoping to find relief from its debilitating symptoms. However, it's disheartening to report that the condition has returned, as confirmed by the MRI results.
The report reveals a retroverted and anteflexed uterus with adenomyosis on the left side. It's disheartening to learn that there's extensive disease involving the adnexa, including a fluid-filled cyst on my left ovary and distortion of the right ovary. Moreover, there's concerning involvement of the left ureter and bowel, accompanied by extensive fibrosis and distortion in the posterior pelvis, indicative of endometriosis.
The frustration mounts as I await surgery through the NHS, enduring my third course of Zoladex in the meantime. It's been two years since I've been waiting for this second surgery, and the uncertainty and pain are incredibly difficult to bear.
If you've navigated a similar journey or have any advice or words of encouragement to share, I would be immensely grateful. Let's lean on each other for support during these difficult times.
Sending strength and solidarity to all who are battling this relentless condition.
