Mandi Schwartz, the sister of 2010 NHL first-round draft choice Jaden Schwartz, is preparing for her toughest battle yet.
 
Schwartz arrived at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance on Monday after leaving her home in Saskatchewan on July 12. She made the 1,000-mile journey via motor home with her family, including fiancée Kaylem Prefontaine, after more than two months of chemotherapy back home at the Pasqua Hospital in Canada.

According to friends of the family, her cancer treatment -- including the stem cell transplant she needs to survive -- will now be overseen by the doctors at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
