Endometriosis

I'm almost 30, and I had laparotomy on 1/29 and was diagnosed with endo. I didn't have detailed talk with my ob/gyn yet, but from what she said, it seems to be quite severe case. She said that Fallopian tubes seemed okay, but ovaries were pushed (or stuck?) down by endo. She said she removed all the endos, but I'd have to take some form of BCP. At this point, she didn't mention about infertility, but when I asked about it, she said I have 30% chance of being infertile. I'm quite depressed by this.

I'm seeing her some time this week, but I'd like to have some ideas. What are chances that endo relapses? What are things I can do to prevent it? How likely is it to become cancerous? I hear of people who have had 5 or more laparotomies and even more laparoscopies, how common is this? Should I seek an endo specialist? What questions should I ask to my ob/gyn?

Thank you.
