Ideas on What to Expect

I just had an oopherectomy removing my right ovary.  This is the 2nd procedure I have had done since being diagnosed with endometriosis in 1993.  I am adopted, and recently found out through a search, that my biological mother died as a result of cancer which started out as ovarian cancer when she was about my age (45).  The oopherectomy was done to correct complex ovarian cysts (2) that had formed from endometriosis on my ovary.
First, I am still bleeding (albeit, not greatly) after a week, is this  normal?  Secondly, what can I expect with this genetic history and medical background of endometriosis?  Thank you for any light you can shed on this.  My doctor is quite young, and I feel like I'm being a bother.
