Duh - major brain fog! As you were telling me that I remember now your DUMBA$$ oncology screwup!!! My goodness, you would think the stupid doc would have read up on your issues BEFORE ordering any tests with an emphasis on THE REASON YOU WERE THERE! Sorry - that just kills me still. :P You know, I had endometreosis surgery at 16 and at 19 and they removed a lot of stuff. I have had ovary cysts too, but after the second endometreosis surgery, no one focused on any of that anymore. I think we are all right and all of this mess begins and ends with HORMONES. I am so glad to here that you are somewhat feeling normal. I may have to demand the hormone testing.... ahh another appointment. Thanks again hun! ~Kim
