Surgery went real well, done on the 30th of Oct.,  and I am doing great.  The doctor saw me for my post-op follow up and all stitches are gone, and I can drive and eat normal food again.  Still have a lifting restriction for a while yet.  All the tumor was removed and it was benign-no cancer.  Have to repeat the tests in a year to make sure it hasn't grown back, but chances are it won't.  Thank you for your support!
