Len, glad to hear things came out well for you. My father was in your exact shoes over 5 years ago. Tumor much larger than anticipated, surgery much longer than expected. His was in the same place I believe yours was, and also wasn't attached to anything. Dr.s reported 100% removal, no chemo or radiation needed, he's been squeaky clean since. I'm sure you'll be the same. Keep your chin up, and God be with you and yours.
