I had a double lumpectomy followed by radiotherapy on both breasts, then a mammogram after one year. Regular ultrasounds. Due to suspicious lumps found in ultrasounds a biopsy was performed and resulted negative for cancer. No chemotherapy. Taking Arimidex/Anastrazole. My treatment is taking place in Colombia.
