Q: Abnormal smear,swollen stomach

First off back in 1999 I had my right ovary removed because of a dermoid cyst that was a size of a tennis ball.
In the begining of the this year (age 30) I was told after a ultrasound that i have another cyst on my left ovary. My doctor but me back on birth contol to see if this would change anything.
In the mean time I go have my regular pap smear. After the appt we set up another ultrasound for next week. I get a call that my pap smear is abnormal. So since I already have an appt for the ultrasound they set up to do a colposcopy and a biopsy next week also.
I have done alot of reading the last couple of days and i'm making myself crazy trying to figure out what is going on with my body.
I have read that a swollen stomach is a sign of ovarian cancer.. which my stomach is swollen, (But I have Crohn's Diease so maybe it's from that!)
Sorry for the long story, I just am scared only have one ovary already, not having a child yet... I know i am cyst, now an adnormal pap.. is it cancer...
what could be wrong??

adnormal pap does not mean you have ovarian cancer.. ovarian cancer does not show up on a pap test. So rest about that. adnormal pap could be a number of things non cancer related. And if you have crohn's I would think that is the bloating. ovarian cyst are common and I would not worry ( easy for me to say right?).. But try and stay off the computer you are only making things upset you.
I don't think you have any cancer.
Keep me posted
