I honestly doubt there is an end to the misery out there, but getting a second opinion is a good idea still. Problem is getting appointments. If I apply for any, I would only get one after the surgery date the first hospital set, so naturally I have to cancel the surgery, but if the next hospital tells me that surgery without hormonal therapy is possible, I just wasted the chance to get rid of the pain earlier. Or, alternatively, they say they can do a hysterectomy, but will also force me to take hormonal supplements. I did some research in the meantime and there is no way someone removes female reproductive organs without hormonal supplements. And that's what's driving me crazy.
