Game changing prostate treatment

Fiona from Henderson

There is an article on page 8 in this week's Western Leader regaling the latest and very exciting 'Game changing prostate treatment' - see pic attached.
Now, I am honestly very excited for this as it is indeed a game changer.
I wish it was there for the relatives I have lost through this horrible disease.
Where I start to get a bit annoyed is it is really incredulous how fast the medical professionals, scientists etc ... have moved to find a 'cure' for a male disease.
Yet so many women are still waiting for a cure or at the very least drugs that are funded to be made available i.e. breast cancer, cervical cancer to name just 2.
Yet, in this day & age, we will continue to wait and will possibly die 😢

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
