The watch and see approach can make a patient a nervous wreck. Its really difficult to sit around while recovering and not worry about it returning when you know the margins werent clear. If you havent already done so, seek out another opinion at a top cancer center. Im sure you will hear from a couple of our members from Canada who are more familiar with whats available to you there.
Best wishes!
