I am so sorry that you are going through this. But I would recommend that you get several opinions before you make such a large decision.
I had endometreois (sp) too. I was in my early 20's when they found it. I went through the lazer surgery to remove it. It helped for about 3 years. The good news for you is that if you have that done, you can have a baby. Being pregnant actually stops it from growing. The birth control shot that lasts for 6 months, I think, is a good option too. It will stop you from ovulating and will help with the symptoms.
I had my hystorectomy when I was 28. I had two children though. The doctor said that since I had my tubes tied it would be the best decision. Some times I regret it because I didn't get to have a child with my 2nd husband. He understands, and I am very lucky that he has accepted my children as his own.
Since I have had it done, I do have some issues with hot flashes, but it's nothing compared to the pain that I was going through before. The sex doesn't hurt any more. It's actually very nice. The first year though, was kind of tough as your body is going through a lot of changes. You might experience some unusual dryness. Hope I'm not being too graphic.
Good luck with your decision, keep us up to date.
