i'm sorry you're going through this. i can understand why you'd be worried. the questions you ask are excellent ones to put to your healthcare provider. in general ovarian cysts are not uncommon. they are not cancerous. it's also possible for a woman to develop an ovarian tumor. some of these also are benign (non-cancerous). having ovarian cysts does not necessarily increase your risk of developing ovarian cancer. i'd suggest you discuss your concerns with your healthcare provider. i wish you all the best!
had 17cm ovarian cyst drained in may and now have 14cm cyst/mass should i worry about more serious illness than cyst
