Well I was in and out in four hours in the end, the surgery itself took about 20 minutes. The lump they removed was pretty sizable, and slightly larger than they were expecting. The anaesthetic hasn’t worn off yet, so it doesn’t hurt at the moment, but I’ve stocked up with painkillers in preparation for the weekend.

Woop.
Did you get to keep the invader?
It’s gone off to Histology to be examined to make sure it was benign.
maybe you can get it back and eat it..
Was it between the muscle and the skin or was it deeper than that?.. how big..? did they weight it? did it have a face?
It was between the muscle and the skin. I think it was about 4″ across and 1″ thick.
AN INCH THICK!!
blimey, like a chunk of steak!!

The suggestion to eat it has left me slightly nauseous.
Glad your OK, speak soon.
