Robin,
Prayers & positive energy being sent Rock's way.
I think we've all learned to become more pro-active, and I'd be wanting that lump removed, too. Whatever it is, its bothering Rocky, so get rid of it... right?
We'll keep all paws crossed that's its a benign "nothing" and the surgery will be totally uneventful so the Rockster can get back to being his loveable self.... and you can breathe again.
Hugs,
Jo & Dusty
