It sounds like things have gone very well, that is great news.
If they haven't had to do a flap that is even better news. Once they have to take pieces from here to put there - things can start to get complicated and therefore in some cases create problems.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery and hopefully you won't require radiotherapy.
