Woman sues over alleged misdiagnosis after mammogram taken at BreastCheck clinic

A woman who attended a mobile BreastCheck clinic for a mammogram when she had a concern about a lump on her breast has sued in the High Court claiming there was an alleged misdiagnosis.

Mother of two Siobhan Freeney claims her mammogram taken in June 2015 was allegedly read incorrectly. She was told in a letter from BreastCheck a few days later her mammogram was clear. She alleges the mammogram should have been read as highly suspicious for cancer and she should have been referred for further assessment.
