Green Party Co-leader Marama Davidson says she's feeling grateful that her breast cancer will be treated - and she has the care and support to focus on it.
Davidson will work up until Matariki, before a partial mastectomy next month and further treatment.
Breast Cancer Foundation Chief Executive Ah-Leen Rayner told Heather du Plessis-Allan “We take it for granted in metropolitan areas that screening is readily accessible.”
Rayner said that for people living rurally - if you miss mobile-unit screenings, some may have to travel up to three hours.
She said "It's not equitable in terms of access."
