    Hi Where

    I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis. It is good to hear that the PET scan was clear and your brain scan. 

    Unfortunately we wouldn't know what stage you are as this depends on the size of they cyst, how many lobes are affected and which lymph node it is in.

    Radiotherapy usually is a very effective treatment. Once you see them you will get your full plan and start to deal with things with often makes us feel much better.
