Endometriosis

Lena Dunham, the star of Girls, is on what I hope is a short medical leave because of endometriosis.

I was horrified to read that some doctors still refuse to treat this disease because of their belief that women’s pain is imaginary.

It reminded me of the years I battled with this and how angry I was with this body which betrayed and tortured me every damned month.

I wonder if that’s how cancer patients feel.
