I am sure everything will be fine with clear margins. I would like to suggest that they schedule you for a 6 month follow up with a scan.
I say this because mine was missed and ended up with 2 occurrence almost year to date. So make sure you have scan done OK.
God bless and take care,
Diane

Still no news on my path reports....no news is probably good news....at least I hope so!
Pain levels are still a little higher than they were, largely I think due to nubmness n my tongue going away. A better night painwise, but a VERY sleepy day today! Took the dog out for a walk this morning (well aroud the house at least!)
Had some buttered noodles for supper last night.
