Mater public vs P.A. hospital

@Lythe I also just wanted to add that sometimes, through no fault of the surgeon, you may need additional procedures.  You'll find many ladies here on the forum who have had 2, 3 or more surgeries to get all the cancer out.  Sometimes the initial scans don't show the full extent and it's only when the surgeon operates that she/he sees what's actually there.  Sometimes the surgeons do believe they have everything and it's not until the lab reports come back that there is evidence of cells still in the samples.  And I think it could even depend on the type of cancer you have.  I had invasive carcinoma, No Specific Type and DCIS combo which I think is fairly contained.  However, ILC is more like a spider web and can spread far and wide with small threads (I think....not entirely sure on this one).  So each case can be very different and require different or multiple treatments.  You may unfortunately be someone who just got bad luck on this one.  And it sucks!!!  But my previous advice still stands - trust your gut and if you feel uncomfortable there is every reason to seek out another opinion.
