Surgeon missed the margins. 2nd surgery

I had to have a second surgery after my lumpectomy and reconstructive. My DCIS the margins were “missed” they were clear but needed them bigger. My IDC margins were clear. Reading the pathology report with PA and said margins were smaller than they like. Surgeon came in and said we’re having a second surgery. Very unexpected - but necessary. I had tears in my eyes.
I think it was done the next week. Took me longer to recover or get rid of the anesthesia.

Get a second opinion or different surgeon. Was this at the Mayo?
