Kia ora whanau, if you have a chemo or radiation appointment or need to see your specialist or GP (particularly out of town) don't let the current price of petrol stop you.
-there is enough anxiety in your life without any unwanted added burdens-

Aroha Cancer Support Services can -more than likely - provide the support to insure you make it there.

Registration is required to gain access to our support services.

Call our team to korero.

Latest Cancer Support Hui.

Our group is gaining momentum, with 7 Tane attending yesterdays April hui (that's 9 all up)

Started hui with a prayer.

The group shared their own experiences, comparing their story's, particularly around treatment and side effects that included some shocking events.
But even within all the paru we even had a few laughs.

All agreeing how misdiagnosis, late diagnosis and discrimination play a frustratingly hoha part in the whole early check of symptoms- provides the best cancer outcome - theory.

They believed and agreed unanimously;

1) Everyone is born with Cancer, but it comes out when your defenses are at their weakest"

2) Genetics too, so be careful picking your parents LOL

3) Lifestyle choices may be a factor in some cases

Will meet again next month
Finished hui with a karakia.

We welcome all Aroha Mai clients to come along,
For Wahine call Deanna to inquire about forming a support group.

Aroha Mai Cancer Support Services are proud, honoured and humbled to acknowledge and accept a koha from the Lee whanau in memory of Hakrae Lee.
All the Lee whanau participated and encouraged Sang as he ran 102 ks to raise money for Aroha Mai (A big thankyou to all who donated)
As is the case with any koha - made to Aroha Mai - it will be used to support our Aroha Mai clients and their whanau (with 2026 winter wellness packs a priority)

Nga mihi nui to Oke, Soo Jeong and Sangkyu.
