Recovering from stage 4 endometriosis

Hey guys, I need help. The last 2 years of my life have been an up and down battle with my health. I had a surgery in the fall of 2020 to remove a mass on my ovary. I was then diagnosed surprisingly with stage 2 endometriosis, not knowing I even had it to begin with. I was doing better for 2-3 years until the summer of 2023 when my health took a dramatic turn and I started feeling worse than I ever had. It progressed until I couldn’t take it anymore and decided to go see my OBGYN again. I had debilitating GI issues and lost 15 pounds at that point. They told me my endometriosis could have grown back and they scheduled another surgery.

The surgery was supposed to be in the fall of 2024, but I ended up pushing it back because I didn’t have the money saved up to take an extended amount of time off work. I don’t have sick days, so when I don’t work, I don’t make money. I ended up getting excision surgery in April of 2025 and was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis that had glued a lot of my internal organs together like my ovaries, uterus, bladder, etc. Five months have gone by since my surgery and I am still struggling with debilitating GI issues and other symptoms. It has been a take 2 steps forward and 4 steps back kind of recovery. If my symptoms do not get better by the beginning of next year, my goal is to schedule a hysterectomy to finally have relief for an extended period of time.

Any donation will help towards moving forward in my recovery.
