Hi Joanne,
Any time you hear tumor it can be frightening. We don't have the information that your doctor/surgeon has to tell you specifics about the procedure.
Talk to them. Tell them of your concerns. They should take the time to answer all your questions BEFORE you undergo the procedure. You don't want to do this while you're getting prepped for surgery. Do it in the office beforehand.
Any good doctor will explain the procedure in detail. Hopefully, it will put your mind at ease.
Best of luck. Please let us know how it goes.

Thank you so much medic-dan for your response...I will definitely ask my surgeon before i agree to have anything done. Because of the size and my age I just stressed about it for a minute. But I am over it now.. Will be going to the doctor on thursday so I will feel some relief. Thanks again
