Women in south Auckland are invited to get free advice about breast health next week.
Specialist nurses will be available to chat on board the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ's iconic pink caravan Pinkie.
Pinkie will be at the following sites from 9 am to 2.30 pm each day:
Countdown, Pukekohe … View moreWomen in south Auckland are invited to get free advice about breast health next week.
Specialist nurses will be available to chat on board the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ's iconic pink caravan Pinkie.
Pinkie will be at the following sites from 9 am to 2.30 pm each day:
Countdown, Pukekohe South on March 22, Pak'nSave, Pukekohe on March 23 and New World Papakura on March 24.
Emilie Petitdemange, Breast Cancer Foundation NZ’s Pink Caravan Coordinator said Pinkie goes on an annual education tour around New Zealand and the foundation was thrilled to be visiting south Auckland this month.
"It's a great chance to talk about mammograms, get advice about checking your breasts, and learn how you can reduce your breast cancer risk. "
One of Pinkie’s star attractions is Bessie, a life-like torso which shows the visible signs of breast cancer.
"Many women are often surprised to learn what a lump actually feels like, so we urge everyone to come along and find out for themselves," Petitdemange said.
Last year Pinkie was adapted to be Covid-safe, meeting social distancing and hygiene requirements, with face masks and disposable gloves available to visitors.
About 335 people are diagnosed with breast cancer in Counties Manukau DHB area every year, and about 50 will die from it, she said.
“Our breast nurses are trained professionals who can give expert advice about symptoms, treatments, support groups and post-surgery options.
"Anyone who can’t visit Pinkie in person is welcome to call our free nurse advice line on 0800 BC NURSE (0800 226 8773)."

Hi my Computer/IT Neighbours,

I am looking for some help in developing a Microsoft Excel Model to pull live Coin Exchange data from the Binance Exchange.
I want to be able to download / update live Coin Rates into my Excel model from the Binance Exchange.
Do you know how to build such a model?
I am trying to do this on my Apple 2017 Macbook Air laptop.
I have managed to be able to get the raw data from the Binance exchange, but I need help in formatting the correct data nicely/cleanly into an Excel spreadsheet model. Formatting the raw data has me stuck.
If you have already done something like this before or know how to use API's to link data into MS Excel, please contact me.
I am happy to learn from you how to do this myself or I would also be willing to pay for you to build a good working live updating Excel model for me.
This may suit an UNI IT /Computer student or someone who knows how to import API's into Excel and can build complex Excel models, a Microsoft Excel guru perhaps.
I look forward to hearing from you.
I live in Mount Eden, Auckland.
Please contact Harry on 0274 88 0274 or by email on investkiwi@gmail.com.

Waterview’s Alford St made headlines last week after residents complained the trees had been cut into unsightly V-shapes by Auckland Council contractor Treescape.
Doria Johnson, who lives on Scott Rd in Papakura, said the trees on her road have had the same treatment, from the same contractor.
Every single tree has been cut down the middle to avoid the power lines, she said.
“It’s not just my tree, it's the entire street ... It looks like a nightmare, it's disgusting.”
