I hope this is a false alarm, but my girlfriend just had a cat scan and the doctor in Clinica Bournegal in POP told her she had a cyst on her brain. This all happened today and I am in NY, speak little Spanish and have not spoken to the doctor. He is seeing her again tomorrow with a colleague, and I think after that may be sending her to a specialist in Santiago. With almost no information and after an hour reading about colloid cysts online I am anticipating the possibility of her needing surgery. Fortunately I recently got her and her family catastrophic health insurance which would even cover her coming to NY if that could be arranged. But I'm way ahead of myself and hopefully blowing this way out of proportion.

What I really need are the names of the best specialists and surgeons in the DR. Hillbilly and everyone else, please respond.

Thanks - D

Thanks, HB. I'm sure I'm jumping the gun, but I want to be sure she gets the best. - D
