She spent four months in hospital and has been undergoing intensive rehabilitation following the two life-saving ops.
She was welcomed back to Westminster by the Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle and sent a "heartfelt thank you to everyone who wished me well during my recent illness".
Callaghan unseated the then-Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson at the 2019 General Election with a narrow majority of 149 votes or 0.3%, overturning Swinson's majority of 5339 votes two years earlier.
Callaghan was diagnosed with melanoma when she was 19 and cites her experience of cancer as motivation to safeguard the NHS, saying "it can never be jeopardised". She has been cancer-free since 2014.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
