Such a poignant truth.

Remembering my husband Damoun, who passed from colon cancer in June 2025 at age 44. I am raising funds in his memory to support early screenings, save lives, and continue to keep his memory alive.

We need to do better for IMGs. It’s not just about allowing them to practice—it’s about making sure they’re supported and treated with the respect they deserve.

[Damoun Safarpour @HemeoncF]

I came across a post saying that in some states, foreign-trained doctors may soon be able to practice without completing U.S. training or exams. It made me think of Damoun.

I met Damoun on his first day of PGY-2.

[Damoun Safarpour @HemeoncF]

The stress, the poor treatment, and the lack of real educational support took a toll. I truly believe it contributed to his illness at such a young age.

@illium51 @pashtoonkasi @NatureMedicine @OncoAlert @PanCAN @oncodaily @oncologytube @OncLive @MPishvaian @ShaalanBeg @cancerassassin1 @FightCRC @CCAlliance @colontown It’s not about giving up; it’s about navigating a reality that no amount of training or strength can fully prepare you for.I hope that in the future we’ll be able to convert stage IV into MRD, but I’m not sure I’ll see that in my lifetime. Btw my husband was the owner of this acc

@illium51 @pashtoonkasi @NatureMedicine @OncoAlert @PanCAN @oncodaily @oncologytube @OncLive @MPishvaian @ShaalanBeg @cancerassassin1 @FightCRC @CCAlliance @colontown My husband was an oncologist himself, and he was deeply involved in his own care. He never gave up on his life, not for a moment. But once you become the patient, everything changes. Advanced disease shifts the entire landscape—every single thing seems stacked against you.

@illium51 @pashtoonkasi @NatureMedicine @OncoAlert @PanCAN @oncodaily @oncologytube @OncLive @MPishvaian @ShaalanBeg @cancerassassin1 @FightCRC @CCAlliance @colontown From a physician’s viewpoint, it may sound straightforward — but for the patient, it’s a very different reality

@illium51 @pashtoonkasi @NatureMedicine @OncoAlert @PanCAN @oncodaily @oncologytube @OncLive @MPishvaian @ShaalanBeg @cancerassassin1 @FightCRC @CCAlliance @colontown They are vita, but when you are stage IV and go to centers like MD Anderson or MSKCC and they don’t offer any aggressive therapies and/or consolidative techniques because of the “bad biology of the cancer”, then where should you and how should you convert more patients to MRD?

@Scooter0732 @Foxhound131 We tried them all … none said yes

[Damoun Safarpour @HemeoncF]

Damoun was exploring compassionate care options when we found a promising medication that could help with lymphangitic carcinomatosis. The company declined access, and he couldn’t join the trial. I emailed after he passed.
