Hi, my Onc told me breast and ovarian cancer are closely linked so he agreed with me to remove my ovaries as a preventative, however it sounds like you've been watched closely with your prior issue's so I'd think this Dr was simply being extra cautious in view of the fact you've had BC, I know its easy to say don't worry but chances are all is fine and I feel sure he'd have said more otherwise.
