Dawn's Defenders is a page created for our amazing friend Dawn Holt to keep all of her friends and loved ones updated on her journey. On March 12th, after having a persistent cough for weeks, Dawn had a CT of the chest which showed a mass. On Monday March 16th the mass was biopsied and on the 18th the results came back as metastatic cancer in the lung. A malignant tumor was found in her colon on T
hursday and we are awaiting final biopsy report, but the doctors think it looks like a primary cancer of the colon which has spread to the lung. At this time Dawn is still in the hospital as her lung was weak enough that she had a pneumothorax (deflated lung) after her biopsy. A chest tube was placed in her lung to re inflate it. Today (Sunday March 22) she got her chest tube out! And we are hopeful that she will be able to come home tomorrow! She will be going to KU for treatment starting soon!! Please join us in keeping Dawn and her family in your thoughts and prayers and using this page to send her well wishes!
