They'll have to either do an aspiration sample on the breast cyst or just remove it all together. The uterus and ovary will require at least a laparoscopy (a couple of small incisions in the abdomen so the doctor can look around inside). Do you know how large the cysts are in her uterus and ovary? Most doctors will want to remove ovarian cysts after they grow over 5 cm (about 2 inches) in size because if they burst it will hurt like crazy or the weight of one can cause the fallopian tube to twist.

They can't make any big decisions until they check it out more thoroughly. Some women are just prone to developing cysts and it's not always malignant. Let us know how things go for her and welcome to the community.
