You're in my prayers! When I found myself in a similar situation years ago. I went to a TEACHING Hospital. They did not hesitate to give me all the tests, medical attention and major surgery for my condition. There are several in the state of CA. There should be a teaching hospital in the Bay area too. They don't advertise their availability, because they would be swamped. But they will help!
I think that Loma Linda is a teaching hospital in southern Cal. They are Adventis Church Religion and Wonderful people. They may be able to direct you to a solution.
If you need a historectomy....PLEASE get it! The longer you wait the worse your condition will become. I KNOW, I had one at the age of 23. And, I am glad I did. I am on hormones for the last 26 yrs. I have done just fine being on them. I nearly waited tooooo long for treatment. Please don't you.
I will be praying for you. God bless...Sincerely, Paulette
