One thing Dr. Stalling found during my laparotomy was a white spot on my liver, one she could not identify the source of.  I don't yet understand the significance of this, though I hope to gain more insight at my post-op appointment this week.  I understand that if the liver is not functioning properly, it cannot deal with the toxic load from the environment and also from the inflammation caused by endometriosis.
