TVNZ journalist Indira Stewart says she has been diagnosed with grade three breast cancer and is undergoing treatment. She says the tumour is aggressive and that she begins chemotherapy shortly after her diagnosis.
In her posts, Stewart describes prompt treatment following diagnosis, including chemotherapy. NZ Herald reports she is also undergoing or has undergone surgery described as a mastectomy, while other coverage focuses on her disclosure of the grade of cancer and the start of chemotherapy.
Both outlets report the same core details: Stewart’s breast cancer diagnosis is grade three, the tumour is described as aggressive, and her treatment includes chemotherapy soon after diagnosis. Differences between reports relate to how far they go in describing specific treatment steps, such as whether they mention mastectomy in addition to chemotherapy.
