@sue417 - I am pleased you have at least some of the information! Regarding the margins, can you clarify an important point? You said the surgeon stated your clear margins were 1 cm and should be 2 cm. Do you actually mean 1 mm? Take a look at below link;
"... additional surgery may not be justified for patients with negative margins < 2 mm who undergo RT but should be performed in patients who forego RT."

In other words, according to the above and other studies, if your margin is UNDER 2 mm (NOT 2 cm), you may need either re-excision OR Radiation Therapy.

HUGS!
