Louise64 thanks for your comments, I'm so frightened that firstly they get the correct tissue and that if the margins aren't clear this time around then I will have to have a third surgery. I did go back to the specialist last week for a chat but probably didn't ask the right questions. I took my daughter along to the appointment and she felt that he skirted around them. I have had friends who have used this specialist and have been very happy with the results. It's obvious something seriously went wrong with my surgery and I will be seeking legal advice (medical negligence surgical error) when I finish my treatment with him.
I will be asking for the hospital reports and all relevant paperwork when I get confirmation from the pathology that they have got the DCIS. If I had time on my side I would be getting a second opinion and changing specialists, Canberra is a small place and the breast surgeons know each other. I was told that they would probably be reluctant to take me on and clean up someone else's mess. I would assume it would be in his best interest this time around to get it right!
I will give everybody an update on 22 January when I go back to see him for the results from the surgery scheduled for this Thursday.
