Rozlyn Khan opens up about the removal of chemo port; says 'The port—once my lifeline—is no longer needed'

Actress Rozlyn Khan’s journey with Stage 4 breast cancer has been anything but ordinary. And now that her chemo port was finally removed, she feels it is a symbolic yet deeply emotional turning point in her cancer journey.“The Port is Out. The Fight Lives On,” she writes on her Instagram handle, marking a powerful end to one chapter in her battle against Stage 4 breast cancer, which had also spread to her D9 vertebra in the spine. Calling it a storm that she fought against time and pain, she revealed that her course of treatment was intense. She wrote, “Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy was followed by modified radical mastectomy (MRM) with latissimus dorsi (LD) flap reconstruction, and then came radiation therapy.

”She endured 19 grueling rounds of chemotherapy, pushing her body to its limits—until she developed a rare and painful complication: “chemo-induced Glanzmann thrombasthenia (Type 2), a bleeding disorder that forced a halt to intravenous chemo.”

Despite this setback, her spirit was unbeatable. She wrote, “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.”

The removal of the port isn’t just a medical procedure—it’s a personal milestone for her that she confessed is hard to explain in words because of the physical and emotional pain of this journey. She added, “But today marks a silent, powerful victory. The scars remain. So does the courage. The war isn’t over, but I’ve made it through the worst battlefield. From stage 4 to stage fierce—I carry this story in every heartbeat.

”While she spoke about the painful journey that it was, she didn’t forget to honor the people who stood by her, especially her surgeon, Dr. Garvit Chitkara from Nanavati Hospital. She wrote, “When I felt like the infection would never heal and the surgery would never recover, it was Dr. Garvit who stepped in and helped me. That support brought me back to living a normal life again. You can see a wonderful human being and extremely professional doctor in Dr.

Garvit Chitkara.”Rozlyn’s story is not just about survival; it’s about redefining victory in the face of pain, and embracing each scar as a symbol of strength.
