Look keep her safe from mating, no running outdoors off lead, isolated from intact males, and I would agree if you want to spay her do it in the States in July.
The very very small increased risk of breast cancer pales besides incompetent vet care. I am not saying all vets in Brazil are incompetent but unless you at least speak the language you are at a huge disadvantage.
Learn and know the signs of heat, you should be examining your gal every day at this point in time. When in doubt act as if she is in heat; that is the safest course of action.
