Irritabililty/Low Mood (especially with partner)!
No Libido
Vaginal dryness
Pain in joints (ankles/elbows and fingers – especially in the morning)

Campaigning for better recognition of endometriosis and adenomyosis – Elaine ’ s Story
Dear All, I feel so very sad reading all the comments posted on this website. So many women facing such a dreadful decision, and most of them after having already put up with YEARS of misery.
I have had menstrual problems for ages. I had heavy and painful, irregular periods in my teens, and was put on the Pill. Not that the Pill did any good, it just gave me spots, bloating and mood swings. I gave that up pretty quickly, and just decided to put up with my menstrual pain. This settled down for a little while during my twenties, and I successfully completed University, began my career, and met a great guy.

Summaries: International Kidney Cancer Symposium
Conclusion: there is no increased risk of doing the lymph node dissection early on.
Dr. Eggener-CON
Basics
Lymph node dissections rarely done, even for large tumors, because there is no proven therapeutic or staging benefit for low risk patients. A Mayo study revealed no data showing therapeutic benefit in high risk patients. For clinically node negative high risk patients, there is staging value but no proven therapeutic benefit.
Rate of positive nodes is associated with stage and grade; the higher the stage and grade, the more likely there will be positive nod...
