Hi, my name is Molly, I am 23 years old and I currently work in the Fertility Industry. I was diagnosed with stage four endometriosis in June after years of searching for answers.

Unlike many, I didn’t experience pain, rather I decided to meet with gastroenterologists as I thought that’s where my answers would be. After being checked and cleared in 2022 I continued living my life, knowing that there was something wrong. In March this year a medical emergency led to me getting more results and to my horror these results resembled what was thought to be malignancy. Thankfully, a second opinion ruled out malignancy and I was instead told from scans and blood work that I have late stages and well spread endometriosis. I met with my surgeon and in June I underwent surgery. With support from my family, partner, friends and QENDO, I navigated these challenges and I am now focused on raising awareness, and helping others in the community.  

Online communities provide a valuable space for support and information sharing for individuals dealing with endometriosis and pelvic pain. Our Group on Facebook offers a place for members to connect, share personal experiences, and access resources.

They can be particularly helpful for those seeking understanding and advice from others who are navigating similar health challenges.

Our Community emphasises privacy, respect, and mutual support, ensuring a safe environment for all participants.

We bring the community together throughout the year to increase education, support, awareness, understanding and learning how to manage our symptoms locally.
