Triple Negative Breast Cancer and a Miracle Baby
10:02 AM, Apr 05, 2021
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.
Pat Andrews âlived for obituaries,â says her daughter Sandra, and she loved to write â but somehow she never got around to writing her own.
It falls to her family, then, to report that celebrated journalist Pat Andrews, 83, died Dec. 22, 2020, at her home in Trenton, leaving behind three children, three grandkids, countless friends, a legacy of charity, and thousands of clippings that once graced newspapers and now live on in scrapbooks and on walls and refrigerators throughout metro Detroit and beyond.
Pat knew everyone, forgot nothing, forgave just about everything and kept the ink flowing until the end, writing for the Trenton Tribune about happenings and people around town.
