Chicago Fire actress Robyn Coffin has revealed she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is preparing for surgery next month.
She shared the news through a GoFundMe page published Friday, Nov. 13, organized with Gianine DeFrancesco. The page says Coffin is expected to undergo a partial mastectomy on her right breast on Dec. 3, with radiation treatment needed afterward. The page also lists a pre-op visit on Nov. 24.
Coffin has appeared across every season of the NBC drama as Cindy Herrmann, wife of Capt. Christopher Herrmann. The fundraiser aims to help cover medical costs and support Coffin and her husband, Grant Edmonds, while she is unable to work.
Her co-stars have stepped in. Miranda Rae Mayo shared the fundraiser on her Instagram Stories and made a donation, and Hanako Greensmith has also contributed.
The stage of Coffin's cancer and the date of her diagnosis were not immediately known.
Her character, Cindy Herrmann, also faced a major lung cancer storyline in Season 11 of the series.
