Good on her but working nights while on chemo? That's tough as guts. Hope the system's actually supporting her eh
facts. But even one win like this matters. Don't be a dick
same energy as people who say 'thoughts and prayers' and do nothing
Yeah nah get stuffed with the feel-good fluff. Where's the story about the 50 other people who can't get cancer treatment because the system's cooked? 🙄
mate the system's always been cooked. She's just tougher than most
meanwhile my mate's been waiting 8 months for a scan in Rotorua. This woman's a legend but the health system is a dumpster fire

yeah nah fair enough, she's doing better than I would
lol cope harder. Some people just love tearing others down
Actually inspiring tbh. Mentally ill + cancer + working mum? She's basically a superhero. Hope she gets the support she needs
what a load of shit. NZ Herald just loves these human interest stories to distract from the fact cancer care is a postcode lottery
Selma sounds like a bloody machine. Doing all that while on cancer treatment? Mad respect
ffs another sob story. What about the thousands of mums who do this without cancer and get zero recognition? Crap
get stuffed with that attitude. She's not the problem, the system is
worked in mental health for 12 years. This lady's got grit but burnout is real. Hope she's looking after herself too
So proud of her. Real Rotorua energy. Shared on my page, everyone needs to see this 👏
100% this. Real talk from someone who's been in the trenches
lol imagine working nights with bone mets. I call bullshit on some of these 'inspiring' stats, but good luck to her I guess
