Tibbs Speak About Own Cancer Battle

Fort Frances councillor Sharon Tibbs says it was early detection that has helped with her battle with cancer.

Speaking publicly about her fight during the opening of Relay for Life on Friday, Tibbs said the prognosis for a full recover is very good.

"A further examination on the (June) 22nd involved the area being treated showed no sign of the cancer cells," said Tibbs. "I had responded to the treatment, and I quote the doctor, 'very well."

Tibbs says she will have the last of 25 radiation treatments tomorrow.
