Well personally I feel go back to see specialist every couple of years for scans etc., but if you aren't taking a drug to slow the Endo I suggest you start taking one. The specialist may have warned you can't have many keyhole operations over your life as after several it will lead to, end up 'bedded down' with scar tissue which makes operations difficult then open surgery would be necessary and made difficult as the tissue between organs will be gone or ridged and compacted.

Best wishes
