I read your question and understand your concern. First, these three may be related to each other or not. A cerebral MRI would help a lot understanding better the nature of the cerebral lesion and its natural history. Of course the pathologic examination (biopsy) would make a definitive diagnosis. The location in case the lesion grows would affect some of your cognitive abilities, such as thinking, reasoning, planning, taking decisions etc.

Recommend brain MRI.

Wishing you good health, please feel free for any other question
