Shane has been the primary carer and has helped her mother to deal with the ups and downs of her cancer journey. In 2023, her mum got the ‘all clear’ but the experience has highlighted some of the challenges faced by patients and carers in relation to the access to relevant and reliable information.  Shane has also witnessed how the right nutrition supported her mother’s immune function and assisted her healing. Shane is deeply passionate about sharing her insights as a cancer carer and supporting others to navigate their cancer journeys and improve outcomes.
