Can cysts be cancerous?!
Question: Can cysts be cancerous.?
I have one, and have to have it removed. I'm frightened that it might be cancer but not said anything of my fears to anyone I know. It is on my mind a lot though.
The cyst is in my mouth, in my gum. I'm 17, and I'm worried sick to be honest.
I get depressed about it because I keep thinking it might be cancer, or spread or something and they won't be able to do anything about it.Health Question & Answer
