Yes, it's called frozen section. My understanding is that are not always reliable and some hospitals don't do it during the surgery. Where did you do the lumpectomy? How big was your tumor and what type of cancer did you have?

I had my lumpectomy done at UVM in vermont by Dr. Sowden as she was recommended by a friend who had breast cancer years ago. She was wonderful! I looked up her credentials in line and was quite impressed. My tumor was 1.2 cm and was diagnosed with stage 1 invasive DCIS.
