Capital FM DJ Zofia Rogers has gone public with a life-changing health diagnosis, as she admitted she’s skipped the doctors to attend a ‘lash appointment.’
Zofia, 24, admitted: “I delayed my consultant appointment ‘cos the one they gave me clashed with a lash appointment,” as she shared her health update with fans. The presenter also admitted that she nearly cancelled an MRI scan over her health scare, “I couldn’t be bothered to take out my hair extensions as they had metal in them.”
Zofia Rogers wrote yesterday: “Health update: After months of appointments, tests, scans and investiations I finally have a diagnosis of MS (multiple sclerosis). This has come as a huge shock to me as I never expected it would be something like this, and I’ll have to have lifelong treatment to manage symptoms and make sure it doesn’t get any worse. I’m really lucky that I’ve found it super early and I only had 2 lesions on my brain so hopefully with correct treatment it will stay at a mild level.”
“Although I’m massively in shock at this outcome and it wasn’t something I was expecting, I’m also relieved to finally know what’s been making me feel unwell for so long and I’ve now been referred to an MS specialists who will be able to get me started on treatment. I’d love to connect with other people who have MS as I’m still trying to learn and understand more of what it all looks like and kind of wrap my head around it, so please do drop me a dm if you have it too.”
In a subsequent post, Zofia told her followers on Instagram that she had delayed a consultant appointment as it “clashed with a lash appointment”. She wrote: “Funny story, I was SO convinced there was nothing wrong with me that I nearly cancelled my MRI scan cos I couldn’t be bothered to take out my hair extensions as they had metal in them.”
She continued: “And I delayed my consultant appointment cos the one they gave me clashed with a lash appointment.” After laughing emojis, she added: “Lashes first.”
Zofia later clarified that she was not encouraging people to follow in her footsteps. She said: “Btw I absolutely do not condone moving round a doctors appt for lashes. I’m just a silly billy & I kinda thought the doctors were barking up the wrong tree so I didn’t really think it was gonna be something I needed to take seriously hahaja.”
More recently, in a video message filmed in the radio studio, Zofia said: “Thank you so much for the messages about my last couple of Stories. I really debated like sharing this because I was like ‘ooh do I want to share it?’ but I really wanted to connect with some other people who are also going through like a similar diagnosis. So yeah, that’s why I chose to share it.”
