Hi James Wife - It's sad to hear that you feel so frustrated. The situation you're in has to be frightening and upsetting.
Your anxiety may come across on the telephone and the people that you are talking to may simply be trying to be kind and to reassure you. The dictionary says that incidental means something is of a minor, casual or subordinate nature. Many arachnoid cysts cause no problems at all.
When a staff person on the other end of the phone says something they are speaking from their world, not the doctor's. In a busy medical practice there are many stressors on the staff, and it helps make their world calmer by dealing with patients and caregivers in a reassuring manner.
I hope you can find a way to keep your spirits up, remain persistent and not be discouraged by what is most likely going to be a long process to find the right doctor and treatment for your husband. As Maria and others will tell you this is going to be an extensive process, and support from others who've been through the same thing is going to help you make it through the journey and around the roadblocks. We wish you the best in doing so.
