I got a call from the hospital today whilst at work, moving the op back to tomorrow. At least it means I'm more likely to recover in time for Christmas.
I should be home for the weekend - other than that there's not much more to add that I've not already written in the posts linked from http://www.livejournal.com/users/matthewp/157130.html
See you soon, and try not to miss me too much ;-)

The Doc said that the results indicated that the tumour was benign so they could go for a smaller op than they were originally planning. Instead the incision will be 12-15in and the tumour (still only 3x5in) can be excised with a relatively small (0.5in) surrounding envelope and there should be no need to remove a chunk of my sciatic nerve. This means that mobility will be impaired as little as possible and also indicates a much shorter recovery time.
