ok I don't think I belong here but can endo cyst or endo cause Cancer???

I'm just curious, I have endo really bad and i have a endometrioma cyste left ovary that was never fully removed back in oct.. I'm suffering daily in pain with my left side it feels like it come to a head and then it pops its sharp and shooting pain then awful cramping, now my right side hurts! My gyn only wants to do lupron which i refuse i believe i need to have all this looked at! So i'm searching for a new gyn right now!
In the meantime i can barely function i'm so tired i can't stand it, nausated i can't eat much at all bloated bm problems that scare me to death! I do know from what i'v read that with endo you do have a higher risk for cancer! I just can't believe that all the stuff floating around in there can be any good for your insides! Maybe i'm jumping a head here but i'v been dealing with this for so long and i'm nervous that because it has'nt been cleaned up it could lead to something else!
How can i see gyn/onc. i know they strictly deal with cancer but due to all my problems , i wish i could have an onc. help the endo is bad and i'm having trouble with gyns wanting to help me! Am i suppose to just deal with this? I have a really good friend whom her mother inlaw had cancer and reccomended her onc. which is in my ins. book! Why cant these guys deal with cyst that never go away and my dr told me he could'nt get to it due to adhesions and endo so now its multipliying! I've tried a reproductive endocronoligist but there is none in my insurance book!
I'm sorry for rambling but all my symtoms are scaring me also my hair is falling out> i have 3 kids that need thier mom back!
It seems i can't find a good enough gyn to handle this! I really do feel like there is alot more going on in there! Should i call the onc and explain the problems i'm having? I'v lost tons of weight too!Please Help!
Love, Colette

You sure sound frightened! I'm glad you decided to put your concerns down in writing on this forum.
The chance of you having cancer is probably slim.
However, everyone is entitled to a second opinion. Perhaps just another gyn opinion would be sufficient.
Have you had another ultrasound done to check on the known cyst? A ca125 blood test may come out elevated due to the endometriosis.
My advice to you would be to try and relax, but definitely follow up on these signals your body is sending.
Please let us know the outcome.

Colette..I a so sorry that you are having all these problems. As Karen said, your body is telling you something. You just need to figure out what it is.
Do you have a primary doctor? Perhaps you can start there, and see what they recommend.
In the meanwhile I will be sending prayers and good thoughts your way. Let us know how everything turns out as soon as you can.
