Hi everyone-
Just needed someone to talk to. I found out on 8/17/11 that I have an arachnoid cyst on my brainstem that measures 25mm by 12mm by 24 mm. I have told my coworkers and my close family but have trouble dealing with it some days. I was having some neurological issues which led to me having a MRI of my brain which found the cyst. I was told by 2 Neoro-surgeons that it should not be causing any symptoms and they would follow up with me in 6 months to see if the cyst has grown and to go from there, either watch it or to do surgery. I do have faith in them that they are doing to right thing, just a little scared.(Trying to be strong for my 2 daughters) I have to go back to Madison in March for another MRI and dr visit to see what the next step is for me.
