Question
I'VE JUST BEEN TOLD I'VE GOT A CYST ON BRAIN  DON'T NO ANYMORE ABOUT IT BUT I'M SUFFERING WITH FUNNY HEADS HEADACHES SLURRED SPEECH FUZZY VISION HOW LONG IS IT TILL THEY USUALLY OPERATE AND WHAT ARE THE RISK

Answer
I'm a medical oncologist and radiation therapist with experience of treating brain tumors. I'm not a neurosurgeon which this is a question for! Besides a brain cyst may not really be a tumor so this is outside my area of expertise! I therefore strongly suggest that you direct this question to an expert of neurosurgery!
