Hi.i realize that it is very easy to make a comment 'try not to panic' as every woman who has a family history of ovarian and cervical cancer would do ..if you have been informed that your cyst is suspicious it does not mean it is definitely cancer. There are a number of types of cysts and a number of reasons why they can be present. Non cancerous are removed as well as are PRE cancerous cells on the cervix - when pre cancerous cells on the cervix are removed, it is not cancer..it just means there is a 'chance' a woman could develop cancer ...depending on the stage of the PRE cancerous cells CN1 CN2 or CN3 , the third stage still not cancer BUT it needs a different type of treatment but not always removal of the womb. Thats why its so important you attend regular PAP tests as im sure you do as with everything it can be treated at the earliest possible stage. Even if there was any part of the reproductive organs removed you still have the egg feezing option and IVF ect there are so many things that can be done to help women . You are a young woman and they will be very careful and will not remove anything unless it is deemed absolutely necessary . Good Luck thinking of you at this difficult time . I am sure you will be fine try not to worry.
