I have been diognosed with breast cancer. The tumor that was removed was non-invasive and contained in the milk duct. But the margins were positive for more cancer. How dangerous is it for me to wait three more weeks to see the plastic surgeon and then maybe two or three more weeks for the surgery? Should I get another opinion?

Reply to Dr Anil Munjal's Post: I'm 61 years old. I have not had any glands checked. They will be checked before my surgery. The tumor was about the size of a peanut(in the shell).

Hello,

Do you have any swelling (swollen lymph nodes )in axilla on self examination?
