Update on Sophie’s progress
20 March 2025
We’ve had lots of people reaching out to ask how Sophie is doing, so here’s a bit of an update. Unfortunately early Monday morning Sophie ended up in ED with chest pain. Long story short the immunotherapy that Soph is currently receiving caused a reaction, resulting in inflammation of the heart muscle. She spent a few of nights in the cardiology unit at Christchurch hospital under observation, also receiving visits from their wonderful haematologist Dr Sean MacPherson, as some new lymphoma nodules were also found in a CT scan. The new nodules are now being attacked with high dose steroids and immunomodulating drugs. Koryn and Soph went home today and are enjoying being back in their own space recovering from this set back ❤️🩹 We also want to say a massive thank you to everyone who came and supported Sophie at Moon Under Water last weekend. We sold the keg out in a record 20 minutes, which is truly unreal. The response to the humble meat raffle was also incredible, a big shout out in particular to both Nick and The Pierce family for their overwhelming generosity! It was so heartwarming to see so many smiling faces and meet all of you who are in Sophie and Koryn’s corner. Your support means the world to us. Now, the girls are just waiting for that golden ticket—an email from Singapore giving them the green light to book flights and head back for the main event!
