I had a recent PET scan for a lung nodule, and there was an incidental finding of a colloid cyst of the third ventricle. I’ve just read the lab report from the scan; my pulmonary doctor is out of town next week and I have a follow-up on 8/2. The report recommended referral to a neurologist and a dedicated head CT. I’m more freaked out by this news than my hyperactive lung nodule that could be malignant!

I do have frequent headaches and occasionally they’re sharp and stabbing. My other potential symptom is forgetting words, but that could be age (56) or menopause.

Scary stuff even if it’s benign.
