Your doctors are on the ball with doing the next surgery to try getting clean margins. You must be upset about this, I know I would be if I were in your situation. Hopefully there will be clean margins this time.
I know how lousy it is being stuck in the hospital. Please update when you are up to it.
Wishing you all the very best with everything.
