MY grandfather had a similar mass removed, his also benign. I hope they didn't have to peel back the roof of your mouth to get at it like they did his. He couldn't talk or eat anything or even suck through a straw because the roof would fall and cause all kinds of problems. Hope you heal up fast.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!
