Robyn Coffin, who plays Cindy Herrmann on NBC’s Chicago Fire, has disclosed a breast cancer diagnosis, Page Six reported on Nov. 15, 2026. Source
Coffin is scheduled for a right partial mastectomy on Dec. 3, 2026, with radiation to follow, according to fundraiser co-organizer Gianine DeFrancesco’s statement quoted by Page Six. The surgical plan is subject to confirmation at a Nov. 24 pre-op appointment. Source
If the partial mastectomy goes ahead, Coffin expects to miss three weeks of work, DeFrancesco wrote. She said a full mastectomy would mean a longer absence. Source
Coffin and DeFrancesco launched the GoFundMe campaign on Nov. 13, UNILAD reported. It seeks $75,000 to help cover medical expenses and lost income during her recovery. Source
“When Robyn doesn’t work, she doesn’t get paid,” DeFrancesco wrote in the appeal, as quoted by Page Six. She said Coffin and her husband, Grant, have insurance. Source
DeFrancesco estimated the surgery and hospital expense at $40,000 even with insurance, according to Page Six. The rest of the fundraising target is intended as a cushion for a longer recovery, medications not fully covered and other unexpected expenses. Source
Coffin’s Chicago Fire castmates Miranda Rae Mayo and Hanako Greensmith each donated $1,000 to the campaign, Page Six reported. Source
Mayo also shared the fundraiser on Instagram Stories. “You may know her as Cindy Herrmann on our show. Any and everything helps,” she wrote, according to the Daily Mail. Source
