Sorry for the delay, Jen. I just saw your questions, the answers to which are:.

No, only the tumor and some surrounding tissue was removed.

For the biopsy, the area was slightly numbed with something topical, and snip, snip, some pieces were removed. Put in some gauze, pat me on the head, and I was out of there. Not in the least traumatic physically.

If you have any more questions, I will be happy to answer as far as my experience with the same type of tumor goes.
