Dear Ma'am,
Sorry to hear about your daughter in law's problem. Considering her BRCA positivity and the history of breast cancer, it is best to get this pelvic mass assessed thoroughly. She should ideally undergo a CT scan, which would characterize the mass further and help in decision making.
She should also consult her oncologist with the findings and probably get a FNAC (needle test) to rule out cancer.
Hoping for the best.
