On 18 February, reported how, despite Roxanne’s scoliosis rapidly progressing from 40 to 80 degrees in the past six months, she has not been placed on an Irish waiting list for scoliosis surgery due to the complexity of her case and the large backlog of cases. If her scoliosis progresses to 130 degrees, she will be unable to eat or breathe properly.
