I'm very sorry this happened to you but glad they caught it. How hard has your treatment been? I initially emailed a contact at the University of CA/San Francisco for a cyst registry and it turned out to be the managing doctor. I had a consult with her and she said the dilation was her biggest concern and referred to University of CA/Irvine where I live. My cysts were very small but who knows how fast they came on. The test is next week but I came down with significant herpes zoster, worse in my eyes but also inside my mouth and throat. I''m waiting to hear if it's still on. I wouldn't think it should matter by then .
