Jennifer,

I have suffered from recurrent Ovarian cyst and some of them being Endometriusis cyst as well. The drug thearpy is to see of the cyst will either dissolve itself or possible bursting, I have had 4-5 burst within the last year. Luckily I have not had to have surgery due to the burst cysts. There is usually just a lot of fluid in your pelvic cavity. But you definetly don't want to ignore it!!! I would try the drug thearpy, it may help, it may not.

But as far as it being magliant is something that I am not totally sure about. Cancer runs on both sides of my family....my father and his side all have died because of cancer and it also runs on my mom side as well. I just make sure that I am there for every GYN appt. I don't take any chances due to the family history. But I know a lot of women that have had cyst and none of them have been cancerous. I hopes this helps and if you would like to talk privately...please feel free to e-mail: Endo93@hotmail.com

Hugs, Wanda
