I have good news! I have a diagnosis! That crazy, intense stabbing pain in my stomach (especially in the lower abdomen area) is Stage 4 Endometriosis. Stage 4 is very severe and there is no cure for it. I had baseball sized tumors removed from my stomach and right ovary. However, stage 4 means that there are other endometrial implants throughout my body to include my bladder, small intestine, and appendix which is why I am in constant pain every single day. The other implants vary in size and can mimic ovarian cancer, which is why I started posting to you all on FB…….because I was completely scared. I’ve been going thru this pain with no diagnosis much longer than my recent postings on Facebook. At first I was hesitant to talk about it bcuz Im not the pity party-Debbie Downer type. I just needed to vent & keep it movin. :_) But I must say that it has been helpful for me to talk to you & to read your kind words. I appreciate every word of encouragement that I have received. So today, I am celebrating the small things……thankful that I finally have a diagnosis…..and that I am NOT crazy! LoL.
