Anyone else have a colloid cyst on the brain? Symptoms?

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.

What size is your colloid cyst and where do you get the sharp stabbing pain? I was diagnosed with one two years ago and it was 5mm and a year later it's 6mm, I just started getting stabbing pains in the left side of my head, not sure if it's related but it's freaking me out!

@shoeho, waiting is so hard! I can't imagine what you are going through. Has a referral to a neurologist been made?
