There are appointments available this week and next week. So, if you haven’t had your breasts checked in a while, now is the time to act.
As always, screening is free of charge.
“If you’re feeling worried, you are welcome to bring a relation or friend with you.
Wāhine can call 0800 270 200 or drop into the mobile to book an appointment.
Breast cancer survivor Lee-Ann Murray is among the women who have their stories on the Breast Cancer Foundation’s New Zealand website.
She was young and pregnant when she was diagnosed in 2020.
“If you are feeling hesitant about going to get anything checked, just do it. Please don’t put it off,” she said.
“So many people think breast cancer only happens when you’re older, but my story shows how that isn’t true at all.
“It’s something I want to bang on about until the cows come home because if it saves another life, then it’s totally worth it.”
