Endometriosis and the Cost of Delay: A Patient’s Story 💛

Join me on Saturday, March 14, 2026, from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM, downstairs at Cast Away Cafe, 82 Main St, Guysborough, for a patient-led presentation by myself, Cairista MacIsaac, sharing lived experience, education, and advocacy around endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain.

This event is open to all—those living with endometriosis, those who want to learn more, and community members who want to better understand the condition. Community leaders are strongly encouraged to attend, as informed local decision-making plays an important role in improving care and outcomes.

Topics include:
• What endometriosis is and who it affects
• Delayed diagnosis and barriers to care
• A patient’s lived experience
• Self-advocacy and supporting loved ones
• Q&A and community connection

Complimentary refreshments and snacks available. FREE event. Optional donations accepted in support of the IWK Endometriosis and Chronic Pelvic Pain Program.

Funded in part by the Municipality of the District of Guysborough
Community partner: Antigonish Women's Resource Centre & Sexual Assault Services Association
Venue partner: Cast Away Cafe

Hi everyone! Some of you who have been following my page know one of my support group members, Ali McLellan, has been fundraising to go out of country for endometriosis care. She was successful in her fundraising and is currently in New Jersey as I write this post.

She will be having surgery with the same surgeon I went to - Andrea Vidali MD Endometriosis, Adenomyosis , Miscarriage. He was generous and waived his surgical fee to help her out, so that way she only had to focus on raising the money for the hospital fees and travel expenses.

Tomorrow she will be going in for surgery!!

Let’s show Ali lots of love and support for her big day tomorrow. I’m so proud of you, Ali!! ❤️❤️❤️

This Valentine’s season, let’s talk about something you won’t find on a candy heart: endometriosis.

Worldwide, approximately 1 in 10 women and those assigned female at birth are living with this disease, and many spend years trying to get answers before anyone really listens.

Those years aren’t just statistics. 📊❌
They’re cancelled plans. 🗓️
Lost income. 💸
Exhaustion. 🫩
Being told it’s “normal.” 🙄
Being told to wait. ⏳
Being told it’s all in your head. 🧠

There is nothing normal about pain that takes pieces of your life from you. And there is nothing acceptable about a system that makes people fight this hard just to be heard.

If you’re in that fight right now, I see you. And you’re not alone.

This coming Valentine’s Day, show yourself some extra love. Living with endometriosis takes strength, patience, and more effort than most people ever see. Give yourself credit for how hard you’re working to manage this disease, even when the system meant to support you struggles to keep up.🎗️❤️
