Hobbermittens, mine was removed in '98. I went in for a physical to have my wisdom teeth out and within 20 seconds of starting, the doctor found a tumor. After several attempts to remove it without surgery, they had to go in. It was then they realized it was worse than they first thought. To date, my levels have been fine, but it took 2 and 8 years after the removal to get preggers naturally (shock to us). I freaked out over the thought of a scar, but my doctor was awesome and you wouldn't even know it's there unless you knew to look. :)
