The wait won't make that much difference; especially since it's just to obtain clean margins. There is always some wait along the way from diagnosis by biopsy to the final surgery. After surgery there may be a wait before treatment too; depending on what type of treatment you will be receiving. Don't stress yourself more by worrying about this delay in more surgery.    Take care .....
