Apply for medical assistance. You will need to submit documentation of your illness as well as various other information (pay stubs, proof of residency, proof of identity) in order to be considered.
My oldest son was diagnosed with an arachnoid cyst almost two years ago and we go in for annual exams to monitor it's size. So far, so good!
Good luck!

You will die but not necessarily from the cyst and not necessarily soon.
I had a CT scan back in 1988 that found a 2cm cyst in my brain. They thought it was a congenital (birth) defect. Since that time, my cyst has grown slowly to 5-6 cm and I am having more headaches but I am afraid of the risk of brain surgery based on where the cyst is. I might die from my cyst but have not yet.
If the cyst is caused by an infection, it may kill you. These infections are usually in AIDS patients.
Insurance won't save you. Any Medical School / University Hospital center has Hill-Burton Funds to care for people without insurance. It may require work and travel on your part to get care but care is available for anyone.

You go to the fanciest bank in town, with a brick, insert brick through glass window during daylight hours, and rant incoherently in strange tongues (pretend you are a drunken Margaret Thatcher). They take you to the police station and then for psychiatric evaluation, they determine you are going to die because of the brain tumour as soon as they learn you have one, (which makes a good excuse for smashing windows), and the government has to pay for your operation. Brain cysts are not always fatal, it depends on their location and if they are benign or growing, but they can't be sure how they effect your behaviour, if it (your behaviour) causes a problem they have to deal with it. Good luck.

Because I live in the US I would go to the hospital where they don't turn you down if you have no money. Now you didn't say if you had like $1,000,000 in the bank and didn't want to spend it.

cry...be angery...
then determine, if i had money and insurance, would i be able to survive? if the answer is about money...that is easy, we can get you money.
if money cannot solve the problem through surgury, then you must decide what you want to do with your remaining days.
if it is about money...and surgury, let us help you find the funding.
