The Breast Cancer Foundation's Pink Caravan is in Hawke's Bay this week.
The NZ Breast Cancer Foundation is going on a road trip with its Pink Caravan.
The Caravan will travel through small-town New Zealand, from Kaitaia to Bluff, with specialist breastcare nurses on board to ensure women everywhere know all the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, to understand their family
and lifestyle risk factors, and to know what to do if they have any worries.
Women - and men - are invited to pop into the Pink Caravan with their questions.
On board the Pink Caravan in Hawke's Bay will be breast surgeon Dr Alison Hayes and Valerie Pennick.
They will be answering questions about breast cancer, providing education to GPs and practice nurses, and helping women who've had breast cancer monitor their risk of lymphoedema (a painful and debilitating condition that can occur many years after breast cancer surgery).
