I also had the same thing as you Saagar, I was 36 at the time and had only surgery to remove the tumor, mine was in the left side of the hard palate. That was April 25, 2006 and I have had no problems since then. When I had the surgery they said all margins were clear... so I had to go for ch-ups and MRI every 6 months for 2 years now I just go once a year. It's a scary thing for sure and especially since you are SOOO young... please keep us posted and If you need someone to talk to whos been there feel free to email me!!! I'm bad about checking back in on
