Front Row (L to R) Aiden Day, Angie Donovan and Corey Austin. Back Row (L to R) Logan, Connor and Sean Day.
YF: How did you decide what treatment protocol to pursue?
Angie: I called my sister right away as I was upset. I also called my dad and his, at the time, fiancé, and told them as well as Corey. I am not even 100% sure which order I did it in. I called my aunt, who had previously been diagnosed with breast cancer, to let her know my diagnosis as well. Everything was via phone at this point, partially due to distance and partially due to COVID.
Angie: Be proactive and positive. My cancer was detected during my annual mammogram. Reach out to others who have had cancer and can share their experiences. Everyones story is a little different, but I am glad I was able to talk to others who had gone through it. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Angie Donovan realizes that there is no right answer when it comes to Cancer. Your treatment plan is going to be very personal and needs to be discussed in-depth with your doctor or doctors.
YF: How did you choose to share your diagnosis with your family?
YF: Where are you now in your journey with cancer?
Did You Know?
surgery was on Dec. 22, 2020 and I was in the hospital until December 31st. I am very fortunate that my ex-husband was super helpful with taking the kids and the dog while I was in the hospital. He has continued to be supportive and has encouraged the kids to be extra helpful, too.
ADJUSTING TO A DIAGNOSIS TO FIT HER NEEDS
Angie: I met with the general surgeon at Southwest Health and we discussed some of the options. I spoke with a friend who had been diagnosed a few years ago and she made recommendations for not only the general surgeon, who performs the mastectomy, but also a plastic surgeon for the reconstruction, which I knew I wanted. I ended up going to UW in Madison for all my surgeries, just because they could do both the mastectomy and reconstruction at the same time. I only had cancer in the one breast, but I opted to do a double mastectomy so that I wouldnt have to worry about it in the other one down the road. Thankfully, we caught it early enough that I didn’t have to go through chemo or radiation. After meeting with Dr. Pipp-Dahm, the oncologist at SWHC, we have opted to do hormone therapy for the next 5 years.
Angie: I got my test results back on November 2, 2020. My diagnosis was high grade DCIS.
YF: Any words of wisdom to other cancer survivor moms or dads?

Meet Angie Donovan
Angie Donovan, Platteville. I grew up outside of Dubuque, IA and went to college in Platteville. After living in Milwaukee for a few years, we relocated to Platteville in May 2002. I am a mom to 4 boys, Sean (19), Connor (17), Logan (14), and Aidan(12). I have been in a relationship with Corey Austin for the past 6.5 years.
YF: What’s the one thing you wish everyone understood about navigating cancer treatment?
shocked, however, nothing prepares you to hear the words, you have cancer. I was more anxious to get more information and figure out a treatment plan.

Though most breast cancer survivors dont get cancer again, the American Cancer Society notes that they are at higher risk for getting some types of cancer. According to the ACS, the most common second cancer in breast cancer survivors is another breast cancer. That only underscores the importance of continuing to get screened even after successful treatment. In addition to a second breast cancer, breast cancer survivors have a greater risk of developing salivary gland cancer, cancer of the esophagus, stomach cancer, colon cancer, uterine cancer, and ovarian cancer. The risk for thyroid cancer, sarcoma, melanoma of the skin, and acute myeloid leukemia also is greater after successful treatment for cancer.

Understanding Alzheimer’s
Early signs of Alzheimer’s include trouble remembering new information, solving problems or completing familiar tasks. As the disease progresses, disorientation, confusion, significant memory loss and changes in mood or behavior may become apparent. Physical symptoms may include difficulty speaking, swallowing or walking.
“Even though work has been done to find a cure for Alzheimer’s, to me it hasn’t been a full-court press,” said Ault, whose many personal encounters with Alzheimer’s have further fueled his passion to find a cure. “While there are no profound treatments today for Alzheimer’s disease, we believe we can change that.”

Among people aged 65 and older, 1 in 9 (11.3%) has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, meaning more than 6 million Americans live with it. Worldwide, the World Health Organization estimates there are nearly 50 million people living with dementia, and Alzheimer’s likely accounts for 60-70% of those. By 2050, this number could rise as high as 13 million. Less commonly noted are the numbers of early-onset (under 65 years old) Alzheimer’s patients within those figures. Up to 9% of global Alzheimer’s cases are believed to be early onset, according to the World Health Organization.
Don’t discount local groups when searching for pets. Many small rescues can’t afford the time or money to maintain a website or constant social media presence. But they make up for that by being hands-on when matching pets with people.

The Alzheimer’s Association defines the disease as a type of dementia that affects memory, thinking and behavior. While some degree of memory loss is common with age, Alzheimer’s symptoms are significant enough to affect a person’s daily life and typically only grow worse over time.

Although adopting a dog is initially less expensive than buying, there’s still the adoption fee to consider and other costs that come with dog ownership. Routine vet visits, emergency medical situations, food, grooming, training classes, toys, and other needs should be considered. The American Kennel Club previously found the average annual costs for dog ownership is $2,500. One-time or irregular costs, such as a crate, spaying/neutering or emergency vet care, cost an average of $2,100. However, these rates vary depending on where you live.
disease and their loved ones, Alzheimer’s Disease also takes a significant economic toll. The Alzheimer’s Association predicts that in 2021, Alzheimer’s and other dementias will cost the nation $355 billion. By 2050, these costs could exceed $1 trillion if no permanent treatment or cure for Alzheimer’s is found. At the same time, more than 11 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, an estimated 15.3 billion hours of care, valued at nearly $257 billion.
(Family Features) Although the COVID-19 pandemic turned the world upside down, the rapid development of multiple vaccines has spurred hope that treatments – or even potential cures – may be found for other devastating conditions. One such candidate is Alzheimer’s Disease.
While there hasn’t been enough significant progress in discovering a treatment or cure in the more than 100 years since Alzheimer’s was first identified in 1906, early diagnosis and treatment may improve the quality of life for patients. The disease affects each patient differently, so therapies vary widely depending on how far it has progressed and which symptoms are most prevalent. Some therapeutic approaches can address symptoms like sleep disruption and behavior while medication may be beneficial for treating other symptoms.

Adopting a Shelter Dog
The humans are finally learning what fun is! This week, they brought out these big round things called pumpkins. After a thorough investigation, I realized these pumpkins are harmless. They didn’t even bark back once! The humans cut into the pumpkins and pulled out ooey-gooey stuff! It was stringy and smelled delicious. I was able to sneak away with a clump of the string and seeds. I chomped into a seed, but I didn’t like it. My paws felt extra slippery with the orange slime on them. I tried to speed into the backyard with more stringy slime, but I just slipped all over the place. The humans started laughing, but I didn’t find it very funny. Their arms were covered in sticky slime and it looked like so much fun. I was really hoping they would let me roll around in the slime, but they didn’t. Once the pumpkin fun was over, we went for walk where I noticed a lot more pumpkins! Be sure to talk a walk around your town to see all the pumpkins and enjoy the nice cool weather. Before we know it, the white stuff will back!
Do your research
All members of the household need to share the same enthusiasm for the dog. Weigh everyone’s opinions, but expect that certain people will take on more responsibility for the pet than others.

A 2017 study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention found that about one-third of women diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in the United States live at least five years after diagnosis. Also known as stage IV breast cancer, metastatic breast cancer is the most advanced stage of the disease. Metastatic breast cancer refers to breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes to other parts of the body. Patients diagnosed with breast cancer also should know that improved treatments may further their chances of surviving a diagnosis, even a diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer. In fact, the American Cancer Society notes that survival rates are based on women who were diagnosed and treated at least five years earlier. In the time since those survival rates were documented, treatments could have advanced even further, potentially improving the five-year survival rates for metastatic breast cancer.
IDC is the most common type of breast cancer. The NBCF reports that between 70 and 80 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses are instances of IDC. An IDC diagnosis means that cancer began growing in the milk ducts but has since spread into other parts of the breast tissue. This is why IDC is characterized as “invasive.” Though IDC can affect people, including men, of any age, the ACS notes that the majority of IDC cases are in women age 55 and older.
Breast cancer statistics can give the impression that each of the millions of women diagnosed with the disease is fighting the same battle, but breast cancer is something of an umbrella term. In fact, there are various types of breast cancer, including ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive ductal carcinoma, inflammatory breast cancer, and metastatic breast cancer. Learning about each type of breast cancer can help women and their families gain a greater understanding of this disease.
Metastatic breast cancer may be referred to as stage IV breast cancer. When a woman is diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, that means the cancer has spread, or metastasized, into other parts of the body. The NBCF
Invasive ductal(IDC)carcinoma
indicates that metastatic breast cancer usually spreads to the lungs, liver, bones, or brain. Symptoms of metastatic breast cancer vary depending on where the cancer has spread. For example, if the cancer has spread to the lungs, women may experience a chronic cough or be unable to get a full breath.

Staging plays an important role in treating cancer. Recognizing the role of staging can help patients better understand their disease and the direction of their treatments. More information about staging is available at www.cancer.gov.

A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, and people who receive such news may be flooded with a wide range of emotions. When delivering such a diagnosis, doctors share vital information about their patients’ disease. Those details can go a long way toward easing patients’ concerns.

Staging is an important component of cancer treatment. The National Cancer Institute notes that stage refers to the extent of the cancer, including how large the tumor is and whether or not it has spread, or metastasized. Learning the stage of the cancer, which is typically expressed on a scale of 0 through IV, helps doctors understand how serious
increases the likelihood that doctors will choose the most effective treatment plan for their patients, which should ease those patients’ concerns as they begin treatment.Stagingis complex, and patients should know that staging alone does not dictate prognosis.

My favorite teacher would have to be Mrs. Schober, she is really nice to me and helps with almost everything that I need and helps me get involved with everything. She is also my longest teacher that I have had because this is my third year on the tech team.

Brian Day and Angie Donovan Siblings:
Connor: I would like to think of my uncle Ryan as one of my large role models other than my parents. For the little time I see him every year he always teaches me new things and I think that I should follow in his footsteps.
My best memory of high school would have to be my freshman year when the seniors introduced the danger zone to everybody and it was a huge thing, the danger zone is our student section nickname where we have a cone that is the danger zone cone and our student section was based around that one cone and we brought it to every single game we went to and won most of them.

Connor: I wanted to be an EMT like my dad when I was in kindergarten but I don’t think I could do that anymore due to me learning what actually goes on and how difficult it is.
Connor: I would like to be in some sort of technology marketing business because I have taken some classes and realized that first of all it pays well, and second of all it really interests me.

Pets:
Connor: My favorite subject currently would have to be the Intro To Marketing class that I am taking because I went into it thinking that it would be really boring yet I am having lots of fun with it so far and I think that it will only get better.
