Hi Christie,
I too had to have a second surgery for cleaner margins,.that surgery was a piece of cake. I went home the same day and was not in any pain. :) My Doc removed 28 lymph nodes,..25 were positive. I start chemo this friday. Goodluck to you and keep us informed! If I were you,.I'd have a mastectomy,..that's just my opinion.
Take care.

I agree with Wanda! I had many nodes involved and a breasst removed... saved me from more surgeries.
The decision is yours..it's your body and yes there is reconstruction if you feel you want it...
hugs and soothing thoughts...

I too had to go back in for cleaner margins, the second time was not as bad, I did not need a drain, and that made a big difference. Try to stay positive and move ahead.

I had to go back after my lumpectomy for clean margins. They went back in the same place and took more tissue. After that the pathology report was good and I could be on my way to the next step with chemo. Hang in there its a long road ahead of you. I just went day to day, and tried to focus on being a survivor of this beast.
