Breast Cancer Petition Presentation
Breast Cancer Petition Presentation
Rt Hon Winston Peters will be presenting a petition on behalf of Kathryn McIlraith for improved breast cancer follow-up treatment at 4.30pm today.
Kathryn McIlraith was treated for a cancerous tumor
in her breast this year. She then had to wait for 14 weeks
to receive radiation treatment.
The petition is calling
on the Government to take immediate action to ensure that
all women who have had breast cancer surgery receive
follow-up radiotherapy treatment within the internationally
recommended four weeks.
Ms McIlraith has collected just
under 10,000 signatures over the last five
weeks.
