Endometrial tumour: Cyst (benign) or Cancer?

The consultant said I had 3 options:-
1) surgery
2) hormone therapy
3) surveillance
I opted for surveillance as I've had a lot of previous surgery & she said it would be extremely high risk.
Due to having an inherited condition called FAP, I'm adviced to stay clear of hormone therapy, so the decision is decided really !!

Hi @kenlyn, I might press for more information before making a final decision. Questions I would ask, include:
1. Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited disorder most often associated with colorectal cancer. Is this tumour related to FAP?
2. Is the tumour cancerous or benign?
3. Is it fast growing?
4. What are the pros and cons of each treatment option?
5. Why is hormonal therapy not recommended for people with FAP?
