Dear Mary S. From Sally, Hi, I'm Sally. Welcome to the adhesions board. I'm not a doctor so I can't give you medical advice, but if I were you, and I wasn't in pain and there was no evidence of cancer and you kept having regular check-ups, and went to different doctors to be sure, I'd be happy as a lark singing in the breeze. It sounds like you don't need an operation and if you don't really need one, that's great. I wish I never had had my operation. The doctor insisted it was necessary, but why, it was just a fibroid tumor. Now Its constant pain and emotional turmoil, a little like hell. Be happy where you're at, don't rock the boat, asuming you can trust the doctor that it's okay. Love and hooray, someone who will escape pain from an adhesions operation. Love, Sally
