Thinking of you, Jen.
You are so fortunate that this has been diagnosed as Benign- and I just know that you’ll sail through surgery and recovery with humour, lots of smiles and a positive attitude. Great attributes to have in staying healthy and beating away diseases, and you’ve come out on top too by the looks of it (as it's benign) with the help of that attitude.
Sending lots of hugs your way, to one of the nicest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.
