It's been over a year now since I began my herbal supplement regimen to try to support my body in the fight to cure myself of endometriosis. I recently dumped my first surgeon. I found a new surgeon who uses more advanced practices and is supportive of my decisions to go the natural route in treatment and who also isn't pushing lupron on me (although he still prescribes it...).
I had my first ultrasound since before my last surgery. I will be having surgery on October 5th to try to remove the endometriosis which has once again enlarged my ovaries. I was pretty surprised seeing the ultrasound and hearing the technician say "that's a really big ovary" after I had been so fucking diligent in using oils and supplements. It's a bit of a let down, I really believed I was going to overcome this without western medicine. I was mostly wrong. Can your body rid itself of endometriosis? I don't know. I want to believe that we are powerful beings and our bodies can fight itself out of disease. Part of the reason I think I've had such a massive regrowth so quickly is my first surgeons inability to clean out the endometriosis completely. My body must not have been able to clean it up on its own as he thought it would, so it was quick to spread again. I would like to think that the skill of this doctor will allow me a few more years to ponder having a child. At the very least though, I hope to be in a little less pain.
