Do keep searching for "that" doctor. You will find him. These cysts can cause an array of certain symptoms, but the cyst can grow and suddely you've got bigger problems. I would go ahead and set up everything you can and find someone to follow you as you wait in case you start to have problems. This is because without warning, your brain may not be able to function normally, your thinking and cognitive skills can deminish like mine did, and then it becomes difficult to put thoughts together, and form rational thoughts. You may want a doctor to know what is going on with you while you are waiting to see what happens with the cyst. Get prepared ahead of time.
I'm glad to hear you are documenting everything. That is a biggie. You yourself can monitor changes as they happen as well as your doctor can monitor the changes as they happen as well. I think it is awesome when people become proactive wtih their own healthcare. I am so glad I did, because if I had of just let the doctors put it all in their hands, I am certain I would not be here today. If I had listened to every doctor that told me to go home and not worry, that these cysts normally don't cause symptoms, I wouldn't be writing this now. I kept pursuing doctor after doctor until I found the one who told me that yes, they do and can cause symptoms, and mine certainly was. And if I didn't have surgery, I could die. He said I was headed down a very wrong road, and that it was just a matter of time before seizures set in, and worse.
I knew something wasn't right. And I knew there was a doctor out there that was going to believe me, and help me.
