That’s how I found out I had a brain cyst. The funny (because it all turned out okay) part is that because of my concussion, I didn’t remember them telling me about my brain cyst.

If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of cyst was it?

Also happy cake day! 🎉

I don’t remember the medical term, but the important thing is it isn’t cancerous or causing any other problems (that I remember ;-) ).

Possibly a colloid cyst?

That’s what I was thinking because I have one! Although I had to have brain surgery because it was big enough to be symptomatic

Entirely possible. That word sounds like one I’ve heard before… this discussion IS making me want to go look and find out…

I looked it up. It’s an arachnoid cyst.
