Rozlyn Khan On Cancer Journey: ‘Chemo Port, Once My Lifeline, Is No Longer Needed'
Last Updated:
Rozlyn said the removal of the chemo port 'marked a silent, powerful victory' after enduring immense physical and emotional pain.
Rozlyn Khan, who has been bravely battling stage 4 breast cancer that had spread to her spine, recently shared an update on her treatment journey. She informed fans that doctors have removed her chemo port, a device used to administer chemotherapy. Rozlyn underwent 19 rounds of chemo but had to stop due to a rare and painful side effect that made it unsafe to continue. Going forward, she will be on medication for the next ten years to keep the cancer in check. The removal of the chemo port, she says, 'marks a silent, powerful victory" after enduring immense physical and emotional pain.
Taking to Instagram, the actress wrote, 'The Port is Out. The Fight Lives On. Today, a chapter closes — my chemo port was finally removed. Diagnosed with oligometastatic Stage 4 breast cancer, with metastasis to the D9 vertebra in my spine, I was thrown into a storm I never saw coming. My treatment plan was aggressive and exhausting: Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. Followed by Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM) with Latissimus Dorsi (LD) flap reconstruction. Then came radiation therapy."
'I endured 19 rounds of chemotherapy until I had to stop due to a rare and painful complication — chemo-induced Glanzmann thrombasthenia (Type 2), a bleeding disorder that forced a halt to intravenous chemo. Now, I continue on a lifelong path with oral hormonal therapy for the next ten years. The chemo port — once my lifeline — is no longer needed. It's hard to explain the physical and emotional pain of this journey in words. But today marks a silent, powerful victory," Rozlyn Khan explained.
Rozlyn shared that while the marks from her treatment will always stay, her inner strength has stayed with her too. She believes that the toughest part of her fight is now behind her, even though the journey isn't fully over yet. She also admired Dr Garvit Chitkara, a kind and skilled doctor who played a big role in her recovery. During a time when she feared her infection wouldn't heal and surgery wouldn't go well, it was Dr Garvit who gave her hope.

Earlier this year, when Tahira Kashyap, wife of actor Ayushmann Khurrana, was diagnosed with breast cancer again, Rozlyn Khan came forward to support her. After facing a similar battle herself, Rozlyn shared a message for Tahira during this difficult phase.
Rozlyn mentioned that Tahira is a very strong and determined person who has already faced this illness once and beaten it. She believes that Tahira has the strength to fight it again and win. Rozlyn also said that she is always praying for her and is ready to help if Tahira ever wants to talk or needs any support during her recovery.

‘The Boys' star Erin Moriarty says she was diagnosed with ‘Graves' disease, asks fans to ‘go get checked'
American actor Erin Moriarty has revealed that she was diagnosed with Graves disease in May 2025. 'The Boys' star Erin Moriarty, in a post on Instagram on Friday, shared her health update, where she opened up about the diagnosis. 'Autoimmune disease manifests differently in everybody/every body,' the Catching Dust actor wrote in the Instagram post. 'Your experience will be different from mine. My experience will be different from yours. Perhaps greatly, perhaps minutely,' she said. 'One thing I can say: if I hadn't chalked it all up to stress and fatigue, I would've caught this sooner. A month ago, I was diagnosed with Graves' disease,' the actor further stated.

It is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in the United States. The disease was named after Robert Graves, an Irish physician, who described this form of hyperthyroidism about 150 years ago. It is 7-8 times more common in women than men.

'It's been increasing in strength ever since,' she added. 'If yours is dimming, even slightly, go get checked. Don't 'suck it up' and transcend suffering; you deserve to be comfy. Shit's hard enough as is,' Moriarty said.

Taylor Swift surprises children at Florida hospital after Stanley Cup Finals, praised for kindness by chief of surgery
Pop sensation Taylor Swift made a surprise visit to the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Florida on Friday, 13 June, bringing smiles to young patients and hospital staff alike. The visit came just a day after Swift was spotted attending Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals with her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce. The couple watched the Edmonton Oilers defeat the Florida Panthers 5-4, but Swift's attention quickly shifted to a more heartfelt cause the next day. Wearing a sage green dress, Taylor Swift was seen walking through the hospital corridors, stopping to greet patients and speak with staff members. Videos and photos shared on social media captured the singer chatting warmly and posing for photos in patients' rooms. In one clip, she can be heard telling hospital workers, 'This has been such an amazing day.' Dr Jill Whitehouse, chief of surgery at the hospital, posted a photo of herself with the pop star on Instagram. 'Chief of Surgery meets Chief of the World!' she wrote, adding, 'Undeniably one of the kindest human beings I have ever had the privilege of meeting.' The hospital's official Instagram handle also shared pictures from Swift's visit with the caption, 'You made this a day we'll never shake off. Thank you, @taylorswift for bringing your support and kindness to Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. You turned hospital hallways into a place of joy, comfort, and connection (sic).' Swift's visit was unannounced, making the experience even more memorable for those in the hospital. Her reputation for making such thoughtful visits continues to grow. In December last year, she made a similar stop at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City just a day before her birthday. Currently, Swift is said to be staying in Florida while Kelce trains with the Kansas City Chiefs during their off-season camp. Fans and families online have praised Swift not just for her music but for her continued acts of kindness, especially towards children facing serious health challenges. Her latest hospital visit has only deepened admiration for the star's generosity and grace.
