Ovarian cysts? Or cancer?

[Carlita_Stranz]

I'm 17 years old and have been sick since I was 13. I just started getting medical attention three years ago for what I know now as large masses on my ovaries. I would throw up at the thought or smell of food and wouldn't be able to keep any food down for months. I ended up going from a 164 to a 152 in about two weeks and maintained that weight. The doctors thought it was my appendix but when they tried to check they said my appendix was not inflamed. They thought it was GERD, celiac, an allergic reaction to something or the bar virus but it wasn't any of those. I am experiencing heavy amounts of pain at all times in my lower back, abdomen, my sides, and on the left side underneath my ribs. I am now a 138.8 due to my inability to eat food without feeling full. I will get fevers at times. My menstrual cycle has always been bad to the point where I am bed ridden for three days of my period due to the excruciating pain that causes me to throw up and pass out later from exhaustion. I finally got an second ultra sound done after my first proved to be a failure and they found pelvic fluid. My mother was still convinced it was my appendix because she went through the same symptoms when she had chronic appendisitice. So we got a CT scan done and my appendix was fine but they found large masses on my ovaries just recently which they believe to be cysts so they gave  me birth control to help maintain them and I've been on birth control for almost two months and I'm still in constant pain. Could it be ovarian cancer? I know that ovarian, Colon, and gall bladder cancer run in both sides of my family so could it be a possibility that it's not cysts but cancer? My doctor said to come back in a few weeks if the birth control still isn't working so I can get an exam done and a pelvic ultra sound to check for fibroids. Please help this is controlling my life and I don't know what to do...  Sorry for my inability to spell correctly:p

My doctor has also told me I will not be able to have children. Also, I have no control over my urinary track and I feel like I have to go every thirty minutes to an hour, it's not painful just excessive. And I have to go to the bathroom a lot as well. I go about four to five times a day and my GI said that wasn't normal and he gave me a second endoscope only to fine nothing.

Your family history of cancer is concerning. Endometriosis would also seem to be a possibility. That can only be definitively diagnosed via surgery and biopsy of suspected endometriosis lesions.

Keep pushing for answers. I hope they figure it out soon!
