Default Please help...

It has been well over a year since I was told I had a cyst in my brain. Until my most recent visit to the Emergency Room I didn't think anything of it. This previous time in the Emergency Room I was told that I had a colloid cyst and was given a neurosurgeon to contact. In the process of waiting to see this neurosurgeon I began researching and had some questions that hopefully somebody can answer...

1. I found that these cyst's are most common in middle-aged people, I am minor... does this increase the risk or is it just something rare? I am no stranger to have middle-aged/rare problems so this came as no shock to me, but I am curious.

2. If removal of the cyst is necessary what is a rough estimate of recovery time? I realize that every case is different but I wasn't sure if this was an in-and-out thing or something that could require months of recooperation.

3. I have also found that this cyst may not impose immediate threat but many people have them removed regardless, just to be safe. If my case is that this cyst is not an immediate threat do you think it would be considered being foreward, or unwise, if I pushed to have it taken out immediately? I would rather take care of this now instead of later when I'm trying to get my future in order.


I realize that all of these questions my doctor can answer as well, but I have been waiting too long and was hoping to gather some information this way. Any response with information or personal experience is welcome. I've been kept pretty much in the dark about this and would like some light shed on it.

Thank you very much!
