IDC ?link to Ovarian Ca

I am 42 dx 2/1/07 w/Invasive Ductal Carcinoma - R Breast.  I had 4 a/c and then 4 taxol treatments over 4 months.  Surgery in July w/mass removal -clear margins, axillary dissection w/1 positive node.  Also was told that in addition to IDC there were DCIS cells found also.  Currently in my last of 7 weeks of radiation therapy.
Because of findings on my PET scan after chemo I had a complete pelvic ultrasound and the findings were "fibroids seen, small cyst on R ovary and large cyst on L ovary".    My recent pap test showed ASCUS-I do understand what this means.  My gyne suggests f/u ultrasound in 2 months.
I am worried about these findings and am curious where I can find information regarding the connection or link between Breast Cancer and Ovarian (or Uterine) Cancer.  Is it possible,  considering my cancer is invasive and cells were found in a lymph node, I finished chemo at the end of June, and my recent ultrasound findings, that there could be any cancer connection?  I trust all my oncologists and my gyne but I am terribly concerned.
I truly appreciate your time.
