It's back

I went in for a check up to because of the pain, my doctor said it sounds like it is back and is telling me I should get in for another lap to get it removed again.It has only been 8 months. Yet my husband thinks I am making it all up, no support from him or his family. I told him how could I make up cells that are growing where they don't need to, it's not like I am telling my body to do this.Just like I am not making up the lump in my breast to, I don't know what he don't get.  Is there any one out there that just wants to talk, I am here I could use some to talk too.

Hello, my name is jennifer and I have had endo for 15 years and are now only just coming to terms with this bloody disease. Please go back to your gp or gyno and tell them you want to see an endocronologist. Zinc and copper levels I have, over the last 6 months, learned are really significant. Have these checked. My most important advice to you is dont give up on your body nor the medicos. Make them give you the appointments you need or want. If you dont no one else can!!!  

Take care, eat and sleep well and regularly,
Jennifer (no prob if you want to talk)xx

I have been looking for a group but this is the closes thing I have found. I can talk to others but hey don't get what is going on because they don't have the pr. For me it is hard to deal with because it's always there.

I just saw your post. I am so sorry you do not feel supported by your husband. I think sometimes men just have trouble dealing with medical issues (too close to having to face mortality maybe?) and they react with denial. It doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't care...it may be that he cares a great deal but has poor coping skills.

Whatever HIS issue is, you deserve support. Do you have a close friend? Sister? Aunt? Mother? How about a support group?
