ANSWER: Dear A Roy
   I can sympathize with you and your concern for your daughter. It does sound as though she is in good hands, as far as her care at this time...however, her endometriosis must be very severe.
    Have you been in continuous contact with her doctor? Also, is her doctor an Endometriosis/Fertility Specialist?
    I would suggest you contact her doctor immediately and/or locate a specialist as soon as possible. The pain and damage already done may make it impossible for her to ever have children. And if her Endo is in the severe stages, as it sounds, a total hysterectomy might be in order...
    Seek out a specialist, she does not need to go through this kind of pain and discomfort.
    I wish you and your daughter the best...
Martha
