Benign cyst

My daughter is 5 years old and has been having dizzy episodes for 2 years now which are every couple of months and last a day. My daughter has been under a paediatrician since then. They first thought it was something she will grow out of or possibly diabetes but this has been ruled out. After a lot of requesting they finally said they will give her an MRI scan, which she had on Monday 4th of March.
The results were she has sinusitis but also a benign cyst on the right side of the brain.
Hearing this has obviously sent me into panic and I am now waiting for the neurologist to review and then my daughter’s paediatrician will be back in touch.
I wondered if anyone else has had similar experiences?

I'm sorry I have no experience with this but didn't want to leave your post unanswered. I just want to say I am going through a hard medical time with my 9yr old so you are not alone, the worry is astronomical isn't it? Just try and have as much distraction from the fear thoughts as you possibly can x

Hi Coco, sorry to read your post. Are you in the UK? Is this in the NHS? My son had a cyst/tumour on the pituitary, I understand what you're going through.
I hope that you get some answers soon - fingers crossed for you.
