Q.2: How can we treat cyst in brain of my nephew, pls. advice us. What medication should we give him or what shall we do... as my sister is feeling very low and she is very depressed. Pls. advice us

Answer:

 It will be impossible for me to offer specific advice, since it sounds like your problem is more extensive than what can be addressed in a general forum like this one. Unfortunately, none of the topics currently active on this website address this specific issue. Your questions should be addressed directly by your health care provider.
