I would first like to applaud all of you. Secondly, I'd like to say that I'm officially supporting your cause. As I've posted many times, my bestest friend was diagnosed with Endo around the age of 23/24 when she was trying to conceive. She'd be doubled over in pain, on RX meds for it, and in tears EVERY MONTH. She had one surgery to explore and that was when they found the endo which was very extensive (attached to her bowel and lots of other places). She then traveled to PA and out of her insurance network to go to one of the best surgeons in this field to have it removed. The surgery was successful. She has 2 beautiful children which serve as a reminder to her how tough this journey was but how rewarding it was.

She just sent me one of those rubber bracelets that supports the Endo cause. She made a donation and they sent her these bracelets to share with her closest friends and family that stood beside her through this journey. I was so touched because being so far away, I always fear our friendship will disappear.

So ladies, there is a solution even if it's not a cure and please remember, THERE IS HOPE.

In complete support and awe of all of you,
Shana
