Help me heal with Stage 4 Endometriosis

Donation protected
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been having lots of stomach pain and issues. Last Wednesday afternoon the pain got so bad I knew deep down something was wrong. I was rushed to the ER at Highland Hospital in Oakland, CA and after several different test, x-rays, and a CT scan they discovered I had a grapefruit size cyst on one of my ovaries. To say this was a shock is and understatement I have never had any signs of cyst, abnormal periods, or endometriosis. They wanted to take me into emergency surgery to see if they were able to remove it so I was prepped for surgery. I met with the doctors and they all seem to be 100% sure that this was pretty easy procedure. It would be removed everything will be cleared out and I would start feeling better again. Well, I wanted to surgery and when I came out, I was immediately told that there were complications during the surgery and they weren’t able to remove anything, and that my uterus and ovaries had several tumors besides the grapefruit size one, and was riddled with endometriosis. At that point the surgeon didn’t know how to operate and wouldn’t operate because she didn’t know what to take out the surgery as there was to much to considered to be removed. Recovery has been brutal, I can barley eat, and we all know I love it eat! At this point the Dr.’s are working with some specialist to figure out the next move and what surgery or surgeries I’ll require next. But they all seam to be at a loss on what to do next. To say I’m scared is an understatement. I’m terrified, and I’m terrified of dying especially losing my Sister, Brother, Mom and Dad so young. I already feel like time is against me and I fear this Grapefruit tumor will explode, and I’ll bleed out. So I’m asking for some help navigating the next few months while I figure out what’s next and try to concentrate on healing my body. I know times are hard for everyone but any help takes some weight off me and allows me to heal up. I’ve had a lot of trauma to my mind, body and soul the past 2 years and I just want to heal, get strong and live life. Thank you everyone for helping me out and being true friends.
