More than $180,000 was raised in five days to help treat a Regina social worker s cancer.
Katie Daschuk was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July last year. She had normal pap smears in the past. So we weren t really even expecting anything like that to happen, said Jordan Marit, Daschuk s brother. Then to find out that she had such a large cervical lesion with some lymph nodes positive at the time was quite scary.
At the time, the cancer had not yet metastasized. Marit said he and the family were hopeful with the news.
