Perhaps my female gynecolologist meant endometriosis could turn into cancer which the below website suggests. I also Googled whether there was a test to detect endo and found sites pro and con about this. My GYN did take a tissue sample. She said the test revealed I had endometriosis. I had a total hysterectomy in April 1993 which was 16 years ago. Medicine is much more advanced now.

Has anyone read Suzanne Somers book about natural estrogen? She says she feels better than she's ever felt. I'm afraid to take hormones but I'm considering natural estrogen if it would make me feel better.

endo is not a sign of cancer I am sorry to say. There is no test for endo.

The male GYN I was going to said my pap was fine and I wasn't going through the change. I found a good, Christian female doctor who IMMEDIATELY said she believed from all the symptoms that I may have Endometriosis which is the first signs of cancer. She said she wanted to do a test for it because Pap Smears don't detect Endo. She did the test on my first visit to her and said it showed I had Endo. The male GYN had me on hormones which she told me to stop taking immediately as it would make the Endo grow faster. She said I needed a hysterectomy ASAP. After the surgery, I felt so much better. I never went back to that male GYN...he didn't even bother to check me further nor did he tell me Pap Smears don't show Endo. If you must have a hysterectomy and you don't plan to have anymore children, you may want to have a!
total one so you won't have to worry that cancer cells spilled over to the ovaries. Do men have as many problems as we women? If so, I don't hear about them that much.
