Siobhán Freeney

I have been an active patient advocate following my treatment for Breast Cancer and my husband’s treatment for Prostate Cancer, both in 2016.  I retired a little early so I have been able to contribute fairly significantly to areas I’m specifically interested in, Breast Cancer research and personalised targeted treatments.
