Update from Sonia
18 April 2025
Hi everyone, Sonia here, I just want to give a bit of an update and say a huge thank you to you all.
Life has been a bit of a roller coaster over the last six or seven months (to put it mildly). After being released from hospital, I quickly started chemotherapy, and thankfully, I was also able to begin immunotherapy. My doctor was confident that starting both at once would give me the best chance for positive results.
So far, I have been lucky as the Chemotherapy was not as tough as the last time (although still not fun!) and I have noticed some real improvements. I have gotten back into swimming, Pilates, and taking walks again. I even had an awesome day of Black Water Rafting with Nathan - something I never would have thought possible just a few months ago.
I have been catching up with friends, reconnecting with people I haven’t seen in a while, and doing things I love, all while making sure I take the time I need to rest when I can.
I am so incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported me, whether through the Givealittle page, in person, or with encouraging messages. Your kindness has meant the world to me and it is all appreciated.
We are currently waiting on my next CT scan to see if the immunotherapy is doing its job, but my family and I are staying positive about what is ahead and we are especially excited for our family trip to Rarotonga next month.
Thank you all once again - none of this would be possible without your generosity.
Love you all,
Sonia
