ANYBODY HAVE INFORMATION THANKS SO MUCH
Linda, you might ask your doctor about Arimidex, which is one of the class of drugs called aromatase inhibitors that are given to prevent breast cancer recurrence in postmenopausal women. There is some evidence that Arimidex can lessen the pain of endometriosis; check out this article from The Well-Timed Period:

And, since tamoxifen has been shown to increase the effects of endometriosis, you'd want to avoid it, if possible. Good luck - hope you find a solution. - PJH
