Rep Baker Fights Cancer While Serving | Winston–Salem News

North Carolina Rep. Amber Baker, a Democrat from Forsyth, has been diagnosed with stage one breast cancer and plans to undergo chemotherapy — but she’s not backing down. Drawing strength from her mother’s successful battle with breast cancer in 2019, Baker is embracing her diagnosis as a call to action for awareness and early detection. Despite treatment at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and the recent loss of her brother — who faces murder charges — she vows to keep serving her constituents and hitting the House floor on September 14th. Anchored by faith and grit, Baker sees herself as a fighter and survivor, determined to turn this chapter into a story of resilience.
