MILLVALE, Pa. -- A Millvale woman who is battling cancer is now fighting to get the water back on in her home after it's been shut off for almost two weeks.

Doris Henn told Channel 11 that she’s had cases of bottled water dropped off at her home for the past 11 days, but she said it’s not enough to take care of her and two others who live with her.
“The first couple days I thought there’s a break somewhere they'll have it fixed,” said Henn.
As of Monday night, she was still waiting for the water to be turned back on.
“I wait and wait and nobody ever comes,” she said.
Henn said her frustration goes beyond inconvenience, adding it’s a matter of maintaining her failing health.
She is battling cancer and said not being able to bathe is keeping her from making her doctor appointments.
“It’s embarrassing going to the doctor when you have to sponge bathe,” Henn said.
The lack of water is also impacting her recovery from a recent surgery.
“The corner of my incision opened and I’m supposed to be keeping it clean,” she said.
Henn said she’s been calling the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority several times a day. She said they promised to come out and repair the break, but so far, they’ve only dropped off a couple cases of water.
“Fighting the water company along with the cancer is getting too much,” Henn said.
