You both mentioned very good points. I did go to Yale and the Dr who I saw, and was highly recommended, wanted to crack my head open (no other way to word it) right away! At the same time, I was seeing someone from St Rapheals who told me if I was his daughter, he would tell me to wait and not jump into such a risky procedure. The same thing was shared with me by another Dr in UCONN. It's all in how comfortable the Dr is with an arachnoid cyst.

I will take your points and research on that as well. I also heard about Dr. Jho and contacted him. He advised me to send him my scans. I never did, heard a few contradictory statements on him. I have seen him publish a few studies on this type of cyst so I have not ruled him out. I also like that he is someone who prefers minimally invasive surgery, I would prefer that anyway!!!

I really appreciate your time and wish you both the best with your health and happiness!
