has your Dr tested you to see where your red blood cells are at, mine were so low, I had to have a blood transfusion in hospital, three weeks before surgery, I think I frightened them, of course it was endo, and I was bleeding so much, my body could not keep up with normal blood replacement, but local GP was not listening, until I had a massive bleed, woke up soaked in blood, mattress ruined, attended emergency dept where I was asked to sit and wait after checking in, after some time a nurse came out, took one look at my blue nose and lips and decided I needed immediate attention.
assumed to be a hormonal issue, and made me extremely ill, vomiting with their hormone tablets, vomiting could not be controlled, had to call in chemotherapy team with their advanced meds to help me, D & C the following day discovered a very early stage endo cancer, had not invaded uterus wall.
10 days later had full pelvic clearance in bigger city hospital rather than my little suburban hospital, its years on now, and never been better.
They also put me on iron with vitamin C, its the combination of the two, and that bounced my bloods back closer to normal in the last week before surgery.
