At age 27, Dorthilen Haynes was shocked to learn she had aggressive triple negative breast cancer. But just before treatment was to begin, she would have another shock â she was four weeks pregnant.
In June 2019, she felt a hard, movable lump in her breast. Her primary care doctor ordered diagnostic imaging and after a biopsy, he referred her to the breast cancer team at Henry Ford Cancer Institute.
As a foster care caseworker, Dorthilen was accustomed to making important decisions and recommendations to judges. Similarly, Dorthilen knew she needed time to process information.
