Dana,
So you are having the surgery again, I do not have time to read back,
sorry. When the gyn did thelast surgery he removed the rest of the
omentum, thinking what you said about the fatty layer. For some reason
they thought that woud help, but it did nothing. Things for me are
getting awfully hard, but I am going to TRY to give it at least 3-6
minths before I do go for surgery, they have no guarantees for me, and
mhy husband is afraid for me too!
I am thinking about all of you, was out to some estate sales, keeps my
mind busy!
Toni
I do not have endo either.
