Sharlee, You're like me--one tumor after another! I know someone who had a neuroma in the nerves connected to his ear and they did some kind of noninvasive surgery that got rid of it. If they do tell you you need surgery, I'd definitely try to get a second opinion somewhere. It sounds like this is not as aggressive or deadly a type of tumor as oral cancer though? Anyway, you've been spared the radiation bullet for now, right?
