It was mostly a fatty waxy mass. Both the dermoid and colloid cysts were congenital, so I had them my whole life. My doctors always appeared totally confident the operation would go smoothly. It did. As I mention in the long story here, the more I found out about my situation, the more sanguine I became about the whole thing, including surgery. Or course, I was nervous the morning of the surgery. Spirituality did not really play a role. Thanks for your note. Hey Phil,

A couple of questions. How deep in the brain was that dermoid? Did it have hair and tooth like enamel,or just the solid mass? were the Doctors who preformed the surgery optimistic, or did they give a percent of success? Do you have any idea how long you had the tumor. I lost a very good friend of mine about twenty years ago due to brain tumor. Maybe if he was alive today they might have helped him. I hope I did not bombard you with to many questions. Last one! Was there a time you were worried about the success of the removal? Did Spirituality play any role. Thank You for your time. Your story and video should set a standard for anyone facing this type of operation. First off I am glad to see you came through that operation. A couple of questions.
