There were cancer cells at the margin of the removed tumor, so I have to go back for more surgery.
When I asked about the likelihood of this beforehand I was told the chances were small. Once again I have fallen into the minority. The surgery has to be asap, before healing creates scar tissue.
There was some better news about the lymph nodes. More surgery in that area will not be needed.
After I got off the phone with the doctor I had a panic attack. I was unable to tell David anything, so he called the doctor's office to get the report himself. In the meantime l took a Valium tablet and reached a state of numb depression.
