Any cancer, they would take the surrounding lymph nodes to check for what stage the cancer is, that's routine. Since she's had cancer already, she probably gets screened regualrly, so the chances of this cancer being found early (like my mom's uterine cancer this summer-she is also a breast cancer survivor--if she hadn't been they wouldn't have been keeping such a close eye on her) are better than for a civilian.
