Hi @_Anna hope that you are doing ok. I have endometriosis, now aged 50 and am still going through bc treatment. Had my last chemo on 24/12 and will be starting radiotherapy early next year.

I haven’t taken the contraceptive pill since about 6 months after I had surgery for my endo aged 35 due to pill side effects.

Not sure if you have gone down the surgery route for your endo but was a life saver for me having it surgically removed. I felt like I got my life back. I had put it off for years.
Happy to talk if you want to.
