Ah, sweetie, sorry you are having this difficulty. Especially since you are newly married and trying to enjoy yourself! PCOS is a long time chronic condition so you are still on the medication for that, right? I would not be suspicious of cancer because they've certainly done testing with as much gynecological examination that you've had. a simple pap smear will check for abnormal cells and they freeze those right off. It's a very VERY slow growing cancer so would not be very concerned about that. What about endometriosis? Did they check for that?
