## Summary

Robyn Coffin, who plays Cindy Herrmann in “Chicago Fire”, has announced that she has breast cancer. A GoFundMe organised by her friend Gianine DeFrancesco is seeking support for medical costs and lost income during Coffin’s treatment and recovery.

Coffin is scheduled for a right partial mastectomy on 3 December, followed by radiation, subject to a pre-operative appointment on 24 November. The fundraiser says hospital and surgery bills are expected to reach $40,000 despite insurance, and that recovery time could be longer if a full mastectomy is needed. It had raised nearly $17,000 towards a $75,000 goal; co-stars Miranda Mayo and Hanako Greensmith each donated $1,000.
