1. Amy Klobuchar:

   After a number of other tests, I returned to Mayo and had a lumpectomy on the right breast which involved the removal of the cancer, in May, I completed a course of radiation treatment, and after additional follow-up visits, it was determined in August that the treatment went well.

2. Amberlea Childs:

Don't rush into something so quickly. Take the time, get that extra opinion, meet with one more plastic surgeon.
