Hi I struggled with a diagnosis in Washington DC but have had great help at mass general Brigham woman’s hospital in Boston, MA for the USA. I don’t know how it works internationally, especially now, or where in Canada you are but I’m sorry to hear that. I didn’t know that was the case with information for Canada on endo. Maybe you need to go to a top research hospital?

One drug I never heard of that a US Dr brought up for me was a hormonal nasal spray. I had to get it filled at a special pharmacy. Ask if they know about that or would that be an option if this didn’t work out?

My surgeon went to Harvard medical school I kind of freaked when I found out. While you can definitely be talented being from elsewhere it made me feel good she was working recently in cutting edge medicine. And it was easy to assume she cared about making advancements without knowing her because of her current efforts. So her approach, outlook, technique i felt would be based on the newest research and she would be confident in trying to remove as much as possible and she said she thinks she got all she saw. I don’t know how it works with consultations maybe? Brigham and women’s hospital is affiliated with Harvard medical school.
