Waiting game
 

First, I am all thumbs understanding how this site works. Any guidance around whether I should have started a new thread...or, should have engaged a different area of this site appreciated.

Hoping to start a conversation related to a recent incidental finding via CT scan. My wife was told she has what appears to be a colloid cyst 2cm x 4cm (rounded up, but not much). Neither of us has any medical background.

After the CT scan she was sent for MRI w/contrast(?)...w/in two ours of the scan on Friday at noon, the physician's office called to tell her she had to schedule ASAP appt for Monday morning. I got home to find her in tears and scared to death.

Waiting until Monday 7/1 for news of what is so urgent in MRI.

Completely lacking knowledge about what she might face (and she will avoid internet, Google searches, etc.), just posting w/couple of questions and to see what kind of response I might find. Thank you.

A. 2cm/4cm...do colloid cysts get any bigger?
B. Can minimally invasive procedures be used for cysts this size?
C. Anyone here have familiarity w/cysts of this size?

Just trying to get the ball rolling, that I might have somewhere I can turn to after we leave the consult on Monday and a million new questions hit us...
