Life after cancer: ‘I’m just not about stress any more.'

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Jo Mannering had been for her share of regular check-ups before a 5cm tumour was discovered in her breast.

She was stunned. She wondered if she would die. “My most important things were, will my children be okay?"

Are you waiting for a hip replacement?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

We're having a look at wait times and are keen to talk to someone who's on the list to get a hip replaced.

It's an issue that's recently been highlighted in Southland and Otago, with some people waiting up to 18 months.

But what's it like in Waikato? If you're happy to share your experience, please email news@waikatotimes.co.nz with hip replacement in the subject line.
