According to a GoFundMe page shared my McKee, Douthit will undergo radiation treatments.
Family members were shocked by the news, since Douthit is so active, and cancer doesn’t run in their family.
“She is the healthiest person I know,” McKee told Us Weekly. “Eats healthier than me. Always organic. Doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink, she is a school teacher, so [she] has no money. She runs marathons and works out two to three times a day.”
