A cyst on my anus for about 5 years. i finally got health insurance; i'm just terrified it might be cancer. it has never hurt or changed. need encoura?

Cyst: This is most likely a cyst or a hemorrhoid. It would be very odd for a cancer to remain unchanged for 5 years. It would be a good idea to have it looked at by your doc, though. It may be able to be removed to help improve your quality of life. I hope this helps!
