Members shared their experiences with endometriosis recurrence and the challenges of accessing specialized excision surgery, particularly in countries like the Philippines where it is not widely available. Several members expressed frustration with Zoladex as a treatment option, advocating instead for excision surgery over ablation, with one member praising their doctor in Zimbabwe who was trained in ablation but learned excision and provided compassionate, timely care. A recurring theme was the difficulty of Stage IV endometriosis, the heartbreak of repeated surgeries, and the geographical barriers to receiving proper treatment.
