Sorry Colleen. I didn't actually answer your question. No, they did not remove it. They couldn't do that without risk to the facial nerve. But if its a ganglion cyst, the concern seems to be lower that it is a long-term threat. So the doctors are just proposing an annual MRI to monitor it.

By the way, our daughter will be back in the US in August. We might like to get a second opinion from Mayo on how to manage the situation going forward. How should we proceed? Thanks!
