Check pathology: Have you checked with the doctors that did the surgery 12/2? Based on the 4x1.5 cm tumor that was removed? They should have a pathologic diagnosis as to what kind of tumor this was and whether it was benign, low grade, or a cancer. Certainly, if there is the need for other therapies such as radiation or chemotherapy-one would be suspicious for a more concerning tumor pathology.
