A member asked:
What effect can a cyst located near spine and pushing into the lung have long term? i was told that it was best to do nothing and monitor it 6 months

Sounds reasonable: But you are seeking a second opinion, and we don't have the benefit of all the information available to your first doctor (films, history, physical examination, etc., ). "cysts" can be a lot of different things. What you describe doesn't raise any alarms with me, but i'd sure like to see your films to help with this second opinion.
