Last time I had skin cancer AND a dermoid cyst on my noise. After the cyst was removed they had to remove the cancerous skin. That was when I was 8 or 9.

Anyways, I had an ultrasound done on Tuesday. I went to the hospital because of abnormal menstrual bleeding. I have a cyst the size of an orange on my left ovary, so they may have to remove it. The tests on my cervix came back abnormal, but luckily not for cervical cancer. They think I might have PCOS though. neutral
