Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for sharing you sons story. As a mother, I understand your feelings.
A doctor should NEVER assign his job to the internet. Unless he specifically gave you a website (such as his own) to give you more information, then he should know better than to have a worried mom perusing through the web. If you have questions, it is this neurosurgeons job to answer any questions regarding the cyst and the surgery to you. Please feel free to ask him questions, if he refuses to answer-- have a back-up neurosurgeon that you can schedule an appointment with.
Wishing you and your son the best possible outcome- keep us posted,
Rosa
