    Ep12: Breast density and patient advocacy - in conversation with Siobhán Freeney

    Ever wondered about breast density or what patient advocacy is all about? In this episode of 'Cancer and You' I am delighted to bring to you my conversation with breast density advocate Siobhán Freeney. We cover 2 important topics: Part 1 (first 18 minutes): Breast density matters - whether you have breast cancer or not! Siobhán explains why, and how to get the information you need. Part 2 (18 minutes onwards):  How do you get into advocacy - for yourself or others? Siobhán shares with us her personal path and top tips. Siobhán Freeney is a patient advocate for awareness of Mammographic Breast Density and the relevance of Supplemental Breast screening Ultrasound and MRI for women with Dense Breasts. In 2016 she founded Beingdense.com. She also has a particular interest around Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer and liaises regularly with Breast Cancer researchers, associations, attends PPI conferences and seminars.  Siobhán is a member of the Susan G Komen Advocates in Science program-AIS. She maintains a strong presence on social media platforms, Twitter and Facebook.   Check out all other podcast episodes of Cancer And You HERE.
