Helping our Roachey Heal from Breast Cancer

Since Roachey’s last update, things have been incredibly intense. She began radiation on May 21, targeting her breast, chest, and underarms. During treatment, fluid rapidly built up around her left lung, then her abdomen, back, and neck. After urgent drainage at A&E, she completed her final two days of radiation and was transferred to Waikato Hospital for lung surgery to prevent heart and lung failure.

The surgery (on May 29) went well, and Roache spent a week recovering in hospital. While it appears successful, further cancer was found in her left lung and a new spot appeared on her liver. These past weeks have been deeply challenging — physically and emotionally.

Still, there is hope. Radiation worked well on her breast and right underarm, with tumours shrinking or disappearing. Sadly, the cancer in her collarbone has progressed into her neck.

Roachey is now starting ozone therapy and continues working closely with the RIFE clinic in Auckland. Her strength and spirit remain fierce.

Thank you for your continued love and support — it truly means the world.
