Brief Answer:
Cyst biopsy required

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Having fertility treatment will not increase chances of your cancer.

If there is cyst? ovarian? you need to get biopsy of the cyst done to identify if it's cancer.

Along with Endometrial biopsy request your doctor to biopsy cyst.

I don't think you need to worry about other cancers if examination is done by your doctor.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards
