The day after learning about Ian Grant's illness, Mina Thorne handed over all her ongoing cases to her colleagues and began an indefinite leave.
She was the first to know about Ian Grant's illness, and then Quentin Thorne.
At first, they took Ian to visit every breast specialist in Brimfield, to no avail. Later, they heard that a cancer hospital in Port Sterling had a cure rate of over fifty percent, so they traveled to Port Sterling. But after reviewing Ian's reports, they concluded that the condition was too severe and untreatable, and refused to accept him.
At that time, they were at a loss, so they informed Zachary Grant. Zachary immediately asked his younger son, Gage Grant, to contact the Lockwood Family in The South, who facilitated Ian's visit to the Mayo Clinic in the United States, where the top American breast specialists developed a treatment plan for Ian.
