Dear Family & Friends,

I need your help to raise P250k for my surgery on the 15th of August. "Nakakahiya man", I was convinced this is the only way I could help myself get better.

A little bit of a background:

  • I was diagnosed with Type 2 DM in 1998. Fast forward, due to an irregular lifestyle, residency training, stress of admin positions, this has now progressed into DM Nephropathy IHD Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding Anemia.
  • I need a total abdominal hysterectomy bilateral salphingo oophorectomy due to a bleeding subserous myoma. In simple terms, I need a hysterectomy to remove my myoma and address the bleeding.
  • In the past, I tried to avoid the surgery. I have been monitored since 2014. I have had blood transfusion in Oct 2014, May 2017 and June 2019.
  • I cannot avoid the surgery anymore. I am now 9 points short of dialysis and with perimenopausal bleeding. I have renal edema and difficulty of breathing. If I use diuretics I'll bleed more. My ObGyne says, I urgently need the surgery. Blood transfusion may not work the next time.
  • I am a medical doctor, but I cannot practice. I have been out of a job for 5 years. Attempts to find a new job fails when they see how pale I am.

The campaign photo you see at the start of the page is me on a normal and good day.

This is a part of me when I need additional blood.

I have a 79 year old mom. I need to take care of her. Please help me raise the funds for my surgery. Your prayers, donations and support to share this on your social media is much appreciated.

Respectfully,

Ditas Gonzalez

Ditas is known to blink her eyes when praying with Mama.

Update posted by Mappet Catilo Walker at 12:15 pm

"In this photo, Ditas has her eyes closed. She has bitten her own lip objecting to being ingested some food or medicines orally, which may be a sign of some voluntary action. Her breathing is now 40 to 60 percent on her own, up from zero just a month ago.. . . . .

Dear Family & Friends, Updates from Ditas’s family. Her CScan and EEG results are out. The injuries from her fall are superficial only, meaning she had a heart attack and then fell.But as her heart would not restart until after so many minutes of revival efforts, she is now comatose,. . . . .
