prevention to stop reoccuring of cancer

My mother had cancer twice. 2o yrs back she had breast cancer and got her left breast removed. After 20 yrs i.e recently she again got breast cancer and got her right breast removed. She also underwent chemothrapy after that for 6 months. She had infection in her uterus soon after her breast surgery. Now she is having a tablet daily that doctor has recomended. I want to know what are the chances of cancer to re occur again . what preventions should we take from not letting it happen again.

Dear jeannie171:  The chances of breast cancer recurrence are based upon the size of the tumor as well as certain other characteristics of the disease.  Her oncologist would be best equipped to provide the actual percentages as they relate to your mother's situation.  Things that reduce the chances for recurrence include the chemotherapy and possibly hormone therapy if that is the tablet the doctor recommended.
