Early stages of breast cancer diagnosis

I had stage , grade 1, negative lymph node, but had second surgery because margine is not clean. Had radiation for 5 weeks and on Letrozole for 5-7 years. Is the ( not clean margine) mean that cancer still there or it will come back?i am 66 years old

I had to have a second surgery due to unclear margins. I had a bilateral mastectomy. I had stage 1A, grade 2, lymph node negative. I too have wondered if that changed anything. I am 65 and on Letrozole.

Having clean margins helps to ensure that all the cancer has been removed.
I was diagnosed at 60 and now five years later I’m doing very well with no recurrence. ♥️
