When you have surgery to remove a cancerous tumor they send it off to check to make sure they have "clear margins" so having a second surgery was not uncommon. They are just making sure they have enough clear tissue surrounding the area that the cancer was located.

If she is going every 6 months for her mammos they are closely watching which is a very good thing!

Do you know what type of cancer she had? Was it DCIS -Ductal carcinoma in situ? Breast cancer is highly treatable so even if it is back it sounds like they have really been watching her
