Look for Colloid Cyst Survivors. It should direct you. Good Luck.

Megan,

I had a colloid cyst removed in 2011. The one I had was rather large for this type of cyst. With that being said I was in the gym days after my release. Keep in mind the cyst made me violently ill and I spent 21 days in the hospital and ended up having to have two surgeries. I had a lot of pressure in my brain because the 11cm cyst acted as a cork between the ventricles and my head slowly filled with spinal fluid over time. So as you can imagine the relief I felt when it was gone.

My only problem I'm dealing with now is depression and moodiness. But that could be any number of things.

Can you please tell me how long it was between the time they found it and when you had it removed?

I was told yesterday morning that I have a 3-4 cm colloid cyst, but I don't know anything else.

Thank you,
AndieB

you can check my post on this website and if I can be of any help I would more than willing. Been ten years post surgery and things are going very well.
