Hi Karen,
Sorry you need us, but glad you found us. Pain a year after surgery should be taken seriously, I think. Not because it's something serious, but because it's unusual. You had a small tumor and have a good prognosis, but still they need to be vigilant. If you feel you are not taken seriously, could you go to another doctor to get a second opinion? We all worry when we feel/sense/see something unusual, and we all want to be reassured. Poo-pooing is not at all reassuring.

Go find yourself a doc you trust!

Love

Jacqueline
