Kiri Allan gets the all clear after treatment for stage three cervical cancer

Labour MP and Minister for Emergency Management Kiri Allan has revealed her latest scan shows "no sign" of the disease.

Allan shared the "huge milestone" today on social media, thanking the public for their support while also calling on everybody to be proactive about their health and getting checks.

The 37-year-old revealed in April she had been diagnosed with stage three cervical cancer - with just a 13 per cent chance of survival.

She had nine weeks of treatment starting in June and two days ago had her first scan since the diagnosis.

"Today my incredible radiation oncologist called me to say that the scan shows that there is no sign of residual cancer," she wrote.

"I can't describe what we are feeling right now, and I'll be honest, I was preparing for a different kind of phone call today."

Allan said there was a five-year period where she needed to be tested every six months, and it was not until the end of that period she could say "my chances of having that cancer are no longer likely".

"However, this is such a huge milestone for my family and I after a year that has been challenging for all, for so many reasons.

"I am so grateful to every single person that has supported our family through this journey, and the incredible medical staff that have saved my life to date."

Māori women are more than twice as likely to develop cervical cancer than Pākehā - and three times more likely to die from it, a 2019 study led by Victoria University of Wellington's Te Tātai Hauora o Hine Centre for Women's Health Research detailed.

Allan used her diagnosis to urge other wāhine to get smear tests, saying the late Talei Morrison's rallying calls for women, particularly Māori women, to get tested regularly was the push she needed to get it done previously.
