amy it is small, means you got lots of time to sit back and look over details.

these aren't life threatening, major surgery for sure, but not life threatening.

Look up previous patients, ask them about their post op issues. Listen to them 1st.

this surgery will have all sorts of "adders" on to it.it helps to know what COULD happen. although in this forum they let a newbie think it is going to be peachy keen wonderful. its a 50 -50 sign for that one.

find about facial issues, paralysis, eye problems etc.. in your quest to see if or what type is needed. at the small size of your tumor, wait and see would be a good stance.
