As a general rule, cysts that are painful are nothing to be worried about. The cysts develop due to hormonal changes, excessive caffeine, excessive excercise (or lack therof), dehydration. If you doctor wishes to do a wait and see approach it is more than likely that one of the above is suspect. You mention taking 'the patch'. There are several, are you speaking of a hormone patch, birth control patch, nicotine patch? I would think perhaps hormone patch and this could be a contributor to the new cyst development. Continue to do follow ups with your doctor, she will monitor the cysts growth, the dosage of your patch and any abnormal or new physical developments. Right now, there isn't much you can do other than treat the sore breasts and boy it does hurt!
The best way to relieve the pain is to take ibuprofen, or Tylenol, drink lots of extra water, and use a cold pack to your chest to relieve symptoms. If the pain is simply intolerable, and sometimes it is because we move so much throughout the day and it affects our sleep, thus more pain because no rest call up your doc and get a Rx of pain meds to get you through.
Blessings!

From what I've been reading there are at least 5 different types of brain cysts, so if it was me I would try to find out either from your GP or surgeon exactly which type you have. They all seem to be of a harmless nature unless they become severely enlarged. If this was happening in your case, they would have had you back very quickly for treatment, so although it's hard, I wouldn't worry too much. See your GP as he should by now have the reports back from the Neurologist and can possibly put your mind at rest. The reason I think they are sending you all these appointments is to make sure the cyst hasn't become enlarged, and I really hope you get some satisfactory answers to your questions when you see your GP. I wish you all the best in this worrying time.

The doctor would not tell you to wait if he/she thought it could be cancer.
