Surgeon missed the margins. 2nd surgery

Posted by freebird67 @freebird67, Apr 1, 2024

Good morning all,
Had lumpectomy 3-18 went back on 3-28 thinking surgeon would release me to oncologist but No ! She told me they missed the margins. I was kinda dumbfounded at first, she explained to me that they have to go back in and cut more and scrap. Then asked me.... do you have a problem with this ? Of course I have a problem with this, who wouldn't ! She just told me cancer cells were pushing on the margin. So I'm headed for another surgery this Friday.
I'm loosing faith in the medical system fast. The nurse came in to schedule my surgery and said it happens like no big deal.
So I guess my question is, have any of you gone through this ? Did it change anything for you ? I did do some research about it and didn't like what I read. But have no choice on this. Thank you and
Have a blessed day

Hi freebird67. Verzenio is an "expensive" cancer drug. Look at the many many side effects. Too many to explain; however, my oncologist prescribed it over any other chemo-type of treatment. I'm now doing great on it with zero side effects. When my hand surgeon explained to me that I could break my hip (my femur is in bad shape) and lose my independence if a break couldn't be repaired, etc.etc., I'm a very active and busy 82 year old (praise God) and gosh, when he told that to me plus I could be totally bed ridden after a hip break, I decided to try the darn Prolia. I do have a few friends who took it twice a year for 2 years and they had zero symptoms. It's a shame we gals have to worry about all of this in our golden years. We're supposed to be having fun and enjoying life. My best, best wishes to you.
