looks like no one is here.

Hi Jabra,

And a belated Welcome. Sorry, my eyesight didn't allow me to see the Colloid Cyst Icon lit up. Anyway, I'm sure you can trust your Doctor over this Cyst. At least s/he has you down to look at it again next year. In my case, with an expanding Arachnoid Cyst, my idiot Neuro won't discuss it at all.

Try not to worry about it and wait til next year to see if there is any change.

Guys it's not a fevere sorry just a typo, I meant to say severe. The headaches are nearly gone now though. He gave xenex and elatrolet for the stress. I saw another doctor and he said the same thing. And the CT scan didn't show hydrocephalus, and that was two months ago. I'll post the CT scans once I get home from work.

These are the CT scans.

Hey Jabra,
I was told the same thing "....ahhh forget about it, wait and see..." I was having symptoms and they (the dr's) weren't listening. Then one day driving down the road and the lights went out, I couldn't see . It shocked the living daylights out of me. Dangerous to me and everybody else on the road. It took me 3 different dr's till I got one of them to listen. Turned out I had every right to be concerned as the pressure within my skull was HUGE. Within 3 weeks I was having surgery. They tried to tell me it was all stress.
Past stress, present stress and future stress they said. No bloody wonder I was stressed, and this was just adding to it. "Here take a tablet, that'll help..."
For many, many years I was told there is nothing wrong, its all in your head. Little did I know just how true this statement was but.
Dr's think they know it all, but only you know your body. If you think there is something a miss, if you think there is something to follow up, then do it. Find a dr who will listen. Like I say it took me a bit of 'bashing my head against a brick wall' with dr's to get someone to listen and I had to see a few to get anything done, but be persistent, don't let them fob you off. It can be very demoralizing and so very STRESSFUL being told "It won't matter" "it's ok" "wait for a while" but if you are concerned, then its up to you to follow it up. Let's face it, they won't follow it up. So do it yourself, get the answers you need, even if its only to keep your own mind at peace.
Unfortunately, that's what I had to do. But pleased I did

Hi there, I had a 12mm cc removed by craniotomy one year ago today. My first concern when referred to my neuro surgeon was how many colloid cysts has he actually removed over his career and I had not been convinced I was willing to have my surgery in another city. As it turns out all was well but the fact was that it did have to be removed. **
I do think you are doing the right thing by getting a second opinion. From what I have seen one centimetre is the largest it should get before extraction becomes necessary.
In the meantime, all the best, and keep us posted!
