Getting Mri results today - cyst found on ovary. Nervous

Hi everyone I'm really worried. I get my MRI results today. I have been having constant pain on my pelvis for about 6 years and it's taken the doctors until now to take me seriously. I have been bleeding heavily and irregular for 2 years since I had my little boy. I will bleed for 3-4 weeks and have a few days with no bleeding and then I will start again. I went for a ca125 blood test a few weeks back and it came back ok but the doctor said that it doesn't completely rule out cancer. Has anyone had a low level and been diagnosed? I'm constantly bloated, in pain, needing to wee, bowel problems and bleeding. I had a ultrasound and they found a 5x5 cyst on my right ovary and today I get the mri results. Has anyone had anything similar? I'm only 26 and I'm a little panicky.
