Pukekohe mum Haley Brock was diagnosed with cervical cancer after going back to her doctor four times and is urging for the new HPV self-test to be funded.
She always had her routine smears, but Haley Brock had to go back to the doctor four times before the cervical cancer that almost took her womb was detected. The 31-year-old narrowly avoided a hysterectomy, but the radiation treatments have forced her into medical menopause. The mum-of-two can never have any more babies. “It’s not even possible for me to have another child,” she says. “I would have liked to make that decision myself.”

CHARLESTON â West Virginia lawmakers approved a $4.5 billion budget on Saturday that leaves the stateâs two top universities with a combined $28 million cut, unless future surpluses can kick in to cover it.
The 23-11 vote in the Senate came on the final day of the 60-day legislative session, during which a Republican supermajority fell short on its top priority of cutting the stateâs income tax.
The budget bill will go to Republican Gov. Jim Justice, who was expected to address reporters later Saturday evening.
Lawmakers trimmed Justiceâs initial budget proposal for the 2022 fiscal year by nearly $74 million.

WASHINGTON â The Senate s top referee on procedural matters ruled Monday that a revised budget resolution for the current fiscal year can be used for another reconciliation bill, according to Senate Democratic officials.
That could give Democratic leaders at least one more opportunity to pass legislation that could skirt a Senate filibuster, with Republicans already signaling that President Joe Biden s infrastructure and other proposals won t get the 60 votes needed to advance in that chamber.
