Cheryl Thanks for your response. We received the biopsy results yesterday and it is positive for cancer. Surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday. We are very upset because all the cancer was not removed the first surgery. I remember the Oncologist telling us after the first surgery that he had taken as much as he could but he also mentioned that he froze one end. I don't think there were ever any clear margins. Cheryl with the biopsy that was just taken could the doctor see where the clear margins are for the upcoming surgery or does this take place while in surgery ?
