Question stimulated by the book Living With Lung and Colon Endometriosis: Catamenial Pneumothorax by Dr. Glynis D. Wallace

I asked this question after receiving letters complaining women are not receiving proper treatment & diagnosis for endometriosis because, 鈥渋t is a non-cancerous woman鈥檚 disease鈥? THAT IS INCORRECT! It is because the disease was misunderstood and under diagnosed. www.catamenialpneumothorax.org

Yes I took Zoladex injections once a month for six months for endometriosis. It is also used to treat cervical cancer and prostate cancer. It is intense and difficult to handle most side effects.

Yes.They are hormone supressants.Hormones play a large part in the formation of endometriosis growth as well as feeding the cancer cells.The specific drug I am referring to is Lupron Depot and it is also used to suppress early menses in extremely young girls.

Yes! I just finished a six month course of Lupron Depot, for the treatment of endometriosis. It suppresses estrogen production causing a temporary "menopause". Without estrogen, endometriosis can not "thrive". This is only a temporary solution; It slows down the progression of the disease, and should relieve the symptoms for 6 months to a year(can be longer),after treatment is completed.
