Surgeon missed the margins. 2nd surgery

Yes, I had two lumpectomies and then a mastectomy. Unless the facility has a the ability to biopsy the margins in the operating suite, such as MD Anderson, for example, this is unfortunately not a rare occurrence. I, too, was very upset until my primary doctor explained it to me. I do like and respect my breast surgeon and oncologist, I wish my primary doctor was my oncologist. He always explains things and doesn’t make you feel as if you are over reacting-even if you are🌹

I totally feel the same. The oncologist is so bored with his job. I’m just a number. I feel like he doesn’t have time or has no interest in my concerns. My surgeon and her team were great. I am considering changing oncologist.

Thank you for your response,it is appreciated. But I don't feel I'm over reacting because I do feel these are things that should be discussed before hand which was not. And was not discussed much when told it had to be done again. This gives a patient time to wonder
Ok what does this mean ? Is there cancers in there roaming about or ???
Bedside manners lacking for sure. Do I think I'm the only one? Absolutely not !
But like anybody I'll get it done and move to next stage.
Thank you and blessings
