Hi there ~ I understand your concerns. I wonder what the diagnosis is after an x-ray was taken. Although I believe that the tumor is benign in nature due to your doctor ignoring it and having you not taking any steps to have it cleared by surgery, I wonder if it something that would recur when you have it surgically removed. I believe if this is the case then your doctor did the right thing. However, getting a second opinion may be helpful in your situation to relieve your anxiety. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
