Taranaki mum Stacey Winiata was diagnosed with breast cancer weeks after the birth of her twins in May last year. The 35-year-old was told in February her cancer is now incurable, and she is planning memories and messages to leave for her four children. Winiata’s Auckland-based sister Mel Boyce is among people throughout New Zealand holding Pink Ribbon Breakfasts to raise breast cancer awareness and funds for the charity Breast Cancer Foundation NZ .
Stacey Winiata is just starting on the future birthday cards and videos she wants to leave her kids since being told the breast cancer she was diagnosed with after giving birth to twins last year is now incurable. As for husband Chazz Winiata, they’ve joked about her pulling together a manual, the Hāwera mum-of-four told the Herald . “I’m worried about my husband and how he’s going to handle the kids.
Once they’re about 5 and they’re going to school, it’ll be a lot easier for him. But when they’re 1 to 5, kids are pretty full-on. “It worries me a little bit [how the kids will cope], but I’m more like, ‘Is he gonna be okay?’”.
