LAS VEGAS — Gonzaga women's basketball coach Lisa Fortier found out Feb. 6 that she had breast cancer. She underwent surgery in April and then radiation and chemotherapy treatments. Fortier said it takes six months to a year to get back to full strength. She will be careful to pace herself this season even if that sometimes means handing off duties to her staff.
