Lorena Meritano is not letting breast cancer defeat her. The Argentinian actress is sharing her inspiring message of perseverance after undergoing a double mastectomy, with a photo proudly baring her scars. "Life throws us curveballs to teach us things and to allow us to realize the number of changes we must undergo on every level," Meritano, 45, writes on Instagram. Meritano, a popular telenovela star, found a breast cancer lump back in March 2014 during a self-check. She quickly went in for treatment and underwent chemotherapy and multiple surgeries to remove the tumors in the summer of 2014, plus a single mastectomy to her right breast.
