“As many of you know, our beautiful Amy has been fighting stage 4 cancer and has previously gotten a tumor removed from her brain,” Page wrote on the GoFundMe page. “Recently, she has developed large blood clots and has needed a life flight and emergency surgery. The emergency surgery didn’t work; any object they put in her body is getting rejected.
“She will now need an amputation from the knee down on her right leg to hopefully help. She will need lots of physical therapy and chemo after. We ask for any small donation or share publicly, please. We appreciate and love our community for all the help and support we’ve received.”
An update posted on Jan. 28, 2025, states Fitzwater underwent amputation as of Wednesday, Jan. 29, and her expected recovery time is estimated at three weeks. Unfortunately, Page adds, “her cancer has spread and growing rapidly.”
