Thanks everybody for your replies, and Willow for sharing your experience. Your loss makes me even more determined to try to sort this all out. It was 2 years ago now that I had the cyst diagnosed but no treatment or follow-up was recommended (military doctor!).

I have an appointment to see my GP on Tuesday so hopefully we can get started on some forward road. At the moment I just feel like I have spent almost a year going around in circles!!

Willow, good luck with your next cyst removal. I have no idea about the procedure but I hope it is not too painful.

I will check back in when I have some news from the doctor.

Take care all.
Cheryl
