HELP ME!

I need help I posted my info a few times before. I have been having some problems and two of my three doctors thought I might have cancer. One thought endometrial carcinoma and the other OVCA. Well, I had a biopsy done in one of their offices and now he seems to think that my problems(pain) are caused by endometrial polyps. But he does not say anything about my ovary(4.3cm cyst). He told me that because of my extensive medical history I can not do anything about the polyps and that the pain will leave when I am in menopause (I am 30). My question is what do I do about the cyst? Should I forget about it or should I see another doctor? The reason he wanted the biopsy is because of my symptoms ( bloating, bleeding, lower back pain, lower abdominal pain, sudden weight gain and etc....) I AM SCARED AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!! P.S. I don't want them to think I a making this up but how am I going to live this way?

Hi NYCGYRL, I know my sister has polps and they are very very painful or that is what she has told me and her Dr has said the same thing they would go away at menopause. She is watched closely because of having 2 sisters that have ovarian cancer. But you could ask for an unltra sound to check out the cyst closer or have a ca125 blood draw just to help ease your mind that you don't have cancer.

Sounds like you need to see a real specialist, a gynecology-oncologist, for a proper diagnosis. You can't fight cancer without knowing if it really is cancer or not. Especially with your symptoms, you need to get a good answer first.
