When life is going to pull the rug out from you. My very good friend and co-worker became very ill last year around Thanksgiving. She went to numerous doc appt and in and out of the hospital for weeks. After about 2 months they finally had a diagnosis. She had endometriosis. This was devastating. She is the same as me and does not have any children.
The endometriosis was severe and had tangled around some of her internal organs. She had surgery to remove some of it. She also is on several meds. None of the meds have slowed it down. So, they they tried forcing her body into a temporary menopause. Before they did they tried to salvage some of her eggs. Once again, it was unsuccessful.
Last weekend she went to see another doc for a second opinion. The doc told her the same things. She can just take meds and hope for the best, try to have a child and be incapacitated through the entire pregnancy (if she can even get preggo). Her last choice and the hardest is to have a hysterectomy.
Knowing the discomfort and agony she schedule the hysterectomy. I can't explain how I feel. I just had a child and she has seen me throughout my pregnancy and she will never know the feeling. I can't even type anymore from the tears.
after she has healed a bit, while she may not physically give birth she still has the chance to be a loving & now healthy mom, there are many children that need that
i had the same thing 8 years ago.... but the one thing different is that i had my dd already and ever so great full i did. i was i can never forget the pain of having to go throw it.... then when i met keith and not being able to have a child with him killed me a lot. my prayers and thoughts are with her through this and if she needs to talk fm me
