00:00 Book Review
07:00 Endometriosis Awareness
What I haven't put in the video - as I will get emotional about it, and I don't want to today - is that it took 20 years for my diagnosis Having had a severe case of fibroids it's not until I underwent surgery of several hours to remove numerous benign tumours that my consultant confirmed something I had said to all the medical professionals involved in my care.
Scans couldn't confirm my diagnosis but in surgery they noted deep infiltrating adhesions with tissue on my bowel and bladder, and a large mass of tissue which explained further bowel discomfort. I had already been in surgery the maximum time I could be so I was offered the opportunity to undergo surgery again in a year.
I should have mentioned that while some sites state that the condition is caused by the lining, that other sites say it is caused by cells similar to endometrial cells.
