Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern paid an evening visit to Labour MP Kiri Allan, who is fighting stage 3 cervical cancer in hospital.
The East Coast MP, who has been detailing her journey on social media, has told followers she ended her chemotherapy sessions this week and has now started brachytherapy, a new internal radiation treatment, involving a day-long procedure and some very gnarly needles .
Knowing she was nervous about the upcoming treatment sessions, Ardern visited Allan to offer some comfort, Allan told Facebook followers in a post yesterday evening.
