Paddling for life
Portraits
For faculty member Gema Pérez Sánchez, it is the deep human connection she found on a local dragon boat team that launched her recovery after surgery for breast cancer.
The rhythmic stroke of 20 paddles in unison jettisons a long, narrow boat across Biscayne Bay. Each paddler’s pull demonstrates not only her maximum effort but also a palpable release—purging the fear, vulnerability, and loneliness that surfaced during her battle with breast cancer.
Among the paddlers in the Save Our Sisters (SOS) dragon boat is Gema Pérez Sánchez, a University of Miami associate professor of Spanish who joined the SOS team in July 2023, five months after undergoing a double mastectomy for ductal carcinoma in situ.
In 2022 Pérez Sánchez had a routine mammogram at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of UHealth – University of Miami Health System, that revealed areas later confirmed with biopsy and MRI to be cancer. She credits her oncologist, Dr. Susan Kesmodel, for patiently explaining treatment options and guiding her toward an innovative surgical technique that was the optimal solution for her. Nevertheless, viewing the scars on her body for the first time was traumatic.
