is this normal? I had wires put into the breast last week to locate the lumps but he tells me that the doctor who put these wires in didnt get them in the middle of the lumps and that is one of the reasons why he was unable to get clear enough margins from last weeks operation.
Really worried that this is going to happen again tommorow. less

I can though say from experience that the " Unplanned " surgeries do happen to others , and the risk of having further surgeries is weighed up with conservation is always a possibility . My very special lady had 3 surgeries and is now on the other side of recovery having Chemo . its all Anxious times , but keep your strength up , eat as well as you can and get rest .
