      You should think about your own integrity before you go into a public setting like this and mislead people.
      Why don't you find out a few facts before you imply that Marama is getting preferential treatment for some reason.
      As well as suggesting something really unethical about Marama, you are also truly undermining her doctors and nurses including her oncology specialists and surgical team.
      This is quite sickening misinformation.

This so-called party is supposed to stand for the little person but won't stand for women having private changing rooms. It doesn't matter what the issue is, if Chloe had an opinion you can guarantee somehow she's a hypocrite. She makes me cringe when I see her dorky interviews. She's also the loudest calling out in parliament during question time, I can't hear anyone speaking over her loud obnoxious sanctimonious calling out.

Somehow, she is feeding on each fallen soul, her empathy and compassion swelling. Soon she shall stand alone, but with a light in her eyes that outshines even Jacinda's, blinding us with it's incandescence. Just a political theory.

    Your comments are so just Mike. I watched the Green Circus on TV and couldn’t believe what I saw. You see I also have cancer……. I’ve unfortunately had it 5 times in fact. Melanoma in 2000, prostate in 2006, bowel in Aug. 2023. then shocked in Sept. 2023 when a post surgery CT scan. revealed a tumour in my left lung. I had most of the lung removed last December but since then unfortunately it has found to have spread to my bones. Fighting it which chemo and immunotherapy treatment ongoing.
    So I had 5 different cancers … some say I must be the bravest person alive, I feel like I’m the unluckiest. To Marama Davidson good luck….. hope things go well for you. But you didn’t need your posse lined up behind you on TV. to publicise your news and glean some votes. Most of us cancer patients quietly go about our daily lives, chemo every 3 weeks, fighting through the tough days and making the most of the good ones. No bugles, no drums, just hoping to still be alive to see my grandson next Xmas. Respect resolve, and quiet consideration would have gone down better Marama and not offended me and I suspect others. Catherine Princess of Wales showed how!

    I'm an older woman who was first diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago. I'm in the Waikato area. I have to say that my care in the public health system was fabulous! After my GP visit I was seen very quickly in the breast care unit at Waikato, came under the care of specialists in the service and had my mastectomy with very short wait time for the surgery. Had a recurrence two years later, more surgery and amazing care. Had good follow up care and have had good recovery. Although working in a stressed health system, all the nurses, doctors and auxiliary staff couldn't have been more caring, more pleasant or more professional.

Any cancer is horrible but to use it for political purposes is despicable and makes a mockery of all those women including my mother who suffer the same cancer silently as she should’ve done

    The New Zealand health system is extremely patchy, completely inadequate in places and world class in others. Apart from the absence of funding for the experimental late stage terminal cancer drugs, which people have to pay 50-100,000 dollars for themselves, when you have cancer you get comprehensive first class immediate treatment. So unless Marama is terminally ill with late stage breast cancer, the care she is receiving/will be receiving is absolutely exactly the same as what everyone else gets when they have cancer, and that care will be excellent.

      At age 77 at the start of Dec 2021 I was confirmed with BC. Jan 6th I was on the operating table. (with a white female surgeon). I got the impression that this was fairly normal timing. I've had nothing but excellent care from hospital and community services. Apart from my family and close friends, not a lot of people know my health history and it's not something I talk about to all and sundry. For a politician to make a public speech about their health, it would have to be politically oriented, why do it otherwise. More sick in their heads than in their body.
