Keep Damaris Fighting!

Damaris is a healthy, young, vibrant mother, daughter and friend. She is also a beloved colleague at AAMG Plastic Surgery assisting with the care of breast cancer patients. It was a shock when at just 39 years old she was diagnosed with colon cancer. When diagnosed a year ago, she was stage 3b. She struggled through chemotherapy. After surgery, she kept working, taking care of her patients and living her life but we knew she suffered with neuropathy and fatigue. We felt thankful that she got through the worst of her journey. Her spirit always remained joyful and her positive outlook on life never faltered. We call her a fighter because that is what she does. Everyday.  Unfortunately, less than 2 years from her diagnosis, a lesion was found in the liver. We now know she has stage 4 cancer. After several consults, she chose a comprehensive treatment plan which has her back on chemotherapy in preparation for a complex surgery at the University of Pittsburg Medical Center. Even while the chemotherapy brings on fatigue, nausea, chest pain… still, she shows up to work every day fighting not only for herself but for her patients. Even while she loses her hair, she throws on a scarf and smiles. Her positivity and enthusiasm for life is truly inspirational. Her surgery will require eight weeks of post-operative recovery. She has a grueling road ahead. So that is why we now fight for her. Any assistance, no matter how small, will help with medical bills and living expenses.  

 

Thank you for joining our fight for Damaris!

Love,

Her colleagues and friends at AAMG Plastic Surgery
