Cathy-
Thank you for your response. My surgery was a whole can of worms in it self.
Doc #1 gave me a diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer after the lap. Thats where Doc
#2 came into the picture he is a Gynecological Onclologist. I underwent the
lap. because i wanted to get pregnant, and having endometriosis doc #1 wanted
to check ou the endo. Went for my follow up and this is where doc #1 dropped
the bomb..told me i had OvCa and that I MUST have TAH/BSO and chemotherapy
immediately. He referred me to Doc #2 who did the hysterectomy.. after the
Hyst. It was discovered that I NEVER had OvCa after all. (yes, i am in the
process of filing suit) This all took place in August of 2000. After the
surgery I had chronic pelvic pain and lower back pain, only to be treated as
if I was "imagining" the pain. Was bounced from doc to doc like a hot potato
none of which would validate the pain. Only after I stumbled across this
site, did I realize where the pain was possibly coming from.
Thanx again!
Caroline
