What Does An Elevated ESR Indicate?

Question: sir/ madam, I am a girl(unmarried) of age 26. I went to the Doctor(gynacologist) to consult because I did not have periods since 2 months. After ultrasound (impression- normal uterus with bilateral PCO )of pelvic he told me that there are some cyst like growth in my ovary which is curable but I should be pregnant quickly because it may create problem to become pregnant. I asked him whether there is something life threatening then he replied no. There is nothing life threatening. He advised me some blood and urine test like- DC, TLC, ESH, FBS, VDRL, HIV, SF ANALYSIS, T2, T4, TSH, FSH Plasma insulin etc. The report has not come yet. I have surfed in the internet and found that ESH test can detect myeloma (cancer) which is not curable and only treatable. I am much afraid of it. Please reply me is there any chance of this ????
