    Denise, I had 2 surgeries a week apart on the same area. First was a lumpectomy and the second was a re-incision to get clear markers. The second surgery was worse than the first because they cut in the same incision before the first was healed. I feel for her. If it is in her breast tell her to keep an eye out for infection from cellulitis. I was told it happens more in woman who have to get more than one breast surgery. I had it badly after the second surgery but didn't know what it was until it had gotten really bad. So make sure she keeps an eye on it.
