Posterior Margin Involved - Not sure what to do.

Hi Dulcibella

While I didn't have to make that choice I noticed that you haven't had any answers yet so I thought I'd reply to you to move you to the top of the discussion.  Hopefully someone will be along shortly with some advice for you.

Best of luck with the operation whatever you decide to do.

Best wishes

Hi Daisy,

Thank you for replying. It seems that this is not a common decision to be faced with. I have read your profile and send you my love and hugs. xx

Hi Ducibella. I went through an operation to re-excise margins that weren’t clear first time around 2 weeks ago.  The second op was successful and  we now move forward. The second op was much simpler and I recovered quickly. For me it was completely the right thing to do, if it’s offered, do it for peace of mind to know the cancer is gone. Good luck. 

Hi there, Thank you for your reply. There was no question that I was going for re-excision of the lateral margin. It is the posterior margin that is in question. It is not normal practice to re-excise a posterior margin, but the surgeon has given me the choice as she is going in any way. It will save me the radiotherapy boost later on. I'm so pleased your re-excision was successful. xxl

Thanks you.
