 news anchor, describes her diagnosis of a 2 cm tumor in her right breast that appeared isolated on ultrasound and other subsequent scans. Despite appearing to be an easy tumor to remove via lumpectomy, Robach opted for a bilateral mastectomy. She made this decision to avoid follow-up scans, biopsies, and to provide added peace of mind.
