On watch and wait!

Diagnosed with a 4 mm Colloid Cyst in June, 2015. In January of 2015 began having severe headaches, confusion, memory problems, mood changes and passing out which eventually brought me to the point of being brought to the ER at which time they did a CAT scan which found the CC.  I am on watch and wait and have recently discovered through a neurologist that I am having leisure activity but he doesn't seem to think it is related to the CC.  Neurosurgeon doesn't think the headaches, confusion, memory loss, mood changes and passing out is related to the CC. My MRI flow study shows everything in my brain is flowing nicely! My blood work is all within normal range, no thyroid problems, no blood sugar problems and no heart or hypertension!  I have had back and neck surgery and do have degenerative disc disease and arthritis but other than this feel to be in good health!  Waiting on a few more test from neurologist and then will confer with Doctor Engh again to see what he thinks!  It seems no one agrees with anything!  A CAT scan in 2010 does show the CC was there but much smaller but was not noted in written report!
