Hi Wendy,
Many of us with PCOS/IR have good Assertive Skills due to high testosterone
levels. I don't worry about cancer because we are at greater risk to
develop diabetes, strokes and heart attacks. This list and PCOSupport.org
are good sources to educate yourself. There is a growing number of Cysters
and you wikk find great support within us. Research all you can sowhen you
see the Gyno you will have a better understanding of PCOS/IR. It is more
than being overweight.
