DCIS a second surgery

1. Just back yesterday for the ‘results’ of lumpectomy. I wasn’t expecting surgeon today to say another surgery is needed. Does this happen much? Is there someone out there with the same experience?
2. Also, I would love to know what are the chances of needing radiotherapy afterwards, surgeon hopes I might avoid it, but again, I would love to hear from people.
3. (Couldn’t sleep last night, was inclined to blame surgeon for missing the extra calcification that now bring need for the second surgery. )
All support welcome.

Thank you very much.
Hi sorry to hear that you need another surgery, while I can’t tell you if it happens often I can tell you that if they find there is any cancer left you will probably have to have radiotherapy.
Hope this helps and good luck with the rest of your treatment.
