Terminal meaning there is more endo in my pelvic and abdomen than anything else. If they removed it all I'd fall apart LOL. If I were a dog I would have been put down a long time ago.

I'm so sorry to hear that Nina. It is good to know you aren't alone though...

I was lucky enough to have children, with the help of IVF. Do you have (or want) kids?

Hi! I believe mine is terminal too. I am 42 and I have been living with it for 16 years. I had a hysterectomy in 2014, everything was removed except 1 ovary and I have been on the same medication for almost 10 years and I am still suffering. I pray for your strength on this journey.
