thanks so much, i really appreciate it! it’s been three days and i’m feeling okay. to be honest i really didn’t know what to expect and have really scared myself to death by reading online, etc.! i’ve had a sore throat and headache every morning but i imagine it’s to be expected.
like i said, i’ve been very, very, very scared about what i’ve read online (future eye issues, cancer, and children) but i also feel relieved that it’s just over. i don’t fell like i have the best endo in the world and plan on getting a new one soon but that didn’t really effect my decision and despite what i’ve learned i don’t think i’d change my mind. just taking medicine seemed too risky – only a 20% chance of remission and a drop in white blood cell count! my endo also completely ruled out surgery and to be honest i think i’m too much of a wimp to have considered it (i cried just having my wisdom teeth out!). they all have their own risks and now i really just need to suck it up and deal with what comes out of my choice.
i really, really appreciate your support and the info i’ve gained from this forum. my family and boyfriend don’t seem to think that this is a big deal (and maybe it’s just the grave’s hormonal issues that are making me think it really is a huge deal) but it’s nice to hear and learn from what others are going through since we’re all stuck with it for life.
