Unclear margins

I had a lumpectomy 3 weeks ago and sentinel node biopsy. 

Today I was told I had unclear margins by a millimetre

plus the original tumour was 6-9 mm 

and there were 3 other dots too not showing on ultrasound.. 

so I need a mri to check. 

Then review treatment plan. 

Def need an op for the margins. 

Its stage 1 grade 2 oestrogen pos breast cancer. 

A dot on the first lymph but that’s been removed.. anyone Been in this situation ? 

 

Worried and scared.

  • Hi

    i have just had a grade 2 18mm her2 neg hormone pod removed and have been for results today

    my nodes are all clear but I have a small area on the margin so have to go bzck for more surgery

    I have been reassured this is common and hopefully they will get it all and then I can heal again and have my next set of treatment

    I agree it is scary and I have come home in tears

    i was told the satalite will be similar or the same as it is from my main tumour, I don't really understand all this but just pray they get it all next time 

    I hope your 2nd lot of surgery goes well xx
