Don’t know if this helps or not but I did ask before I had my op, what happens if you don't get clear margins. The bcn said very clearly, even before the pathology was done, that there would be another op so that they did get clear margins. I don’t think it’s too unusual for this to happen and if the edges of what was being removed were irregular, that might make it more difficult initially to get the clear margin. 

I also had two ‘tumours’, mine were so small that tumour seems to be a big overstatement. Was was designated as dcis the other was grade 2 invasive, oestrogen receptive. 

Having more surgery is a knock back but most of the %#*! Is out now so lets get the rest out and see what th doc recommends after this!
