Labour MP and Minister of Conservation Kiri Allan has entered week two of treatment following her cervical cancer diagnosis earlier in the month.
The MP announced she had been diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer in early April.
"So now the fight of my life begins," she said in a Facebook post.
In a video update posted online today, there were plenty of smiles, laughs and waiata as Allan received chemotherapy while being supported by fellow Labour MP Meka Whaitiri.
When she shared the news of her diagnosis, Allan said people's first question often was: "Is there anything I can do?"
