My Life My Story in a few words

New Important Information
Make sure you are under the correct physician for you endometriosis because most GYN's aren't that knowledgeable when it comes to our disease. Some recent discoveries are below:
1. Endometriosis can spread to the lining of the stomach.
2. It can attack the cervix if not removed.
3. Endo can attack the intestines.
4. Rare cases have been reported of Endo in the lungs and brain.
I wanted to share these facts so, you'll understand that endometriosis can travel although, we pray not. Below I've stated a myth regarding having your cervix removed:
I was told by a family member who was recently diagnosed with Endo and found it was feeding on her cervix, she indicated she didn't want the doctor to remove it because she was told her vagina would cave in and her bladder would fall. I'm hear to tell you this is a myth, I've had all my female organs removed and the bladder/vagina is still in tact.
The main point is that you find a specialist in cancer and Endometriosis, remember Endo is a benign cancer that feeds on soft tissue.
I hope you found this helpful.
