Hah! I've spent my life working in the church (60 years) -- so yes, I'm a prayer person, and am thankful for your prayers. You have been a great deal of help. I think I'm going to pursue having this done elsewhere. Will know more today. From what I can tell, the biopsy done at my gyn's office was insufficient (I see that "after the fact") The oncologic surgeon probably should have done another, or at the very least recognized the severity of the situation. In teaching hospitals, they use a lot of fellows in the operating room. To be honest, I really don't know who did this surgery, looking back. I, like you, trusted the system at the time. Did you have both sides done, or just one? They have me down for a bilingual, since the margin is close to the midline, and the margins weren't clear on pathology.
