John Crown

Well, that night, we first met at the cancer gig, um, and I mean, it was, what, this big gala thing, and I, I'm not very good at, at those things anyway.

Uh, and you're there, and my hair was still quite short, um, and, uh, anyhow, John Crown was in the audience, so I just stood up, uh, and said it was the first time, uh, that John Crown was here, and hello, and it was the first time in a long time he'd seen me with my clothes on, 'cause-

[laughs]

... obviously, with breast cancer, the first thing you do when someone walks into the room is whip, you know, you whip up your top because that's what they're there for.

Thank you.

I have a personal interest in Eileen in that her first oncology job back in 1993 was as my registrar when I first came back to Dublin from my time in Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and I can tell you It was obvious to me then that this was someone who was destined for greatness, really, greatness in the area of cancer medicine and cancer research.

Eileen, welcome to the pod.

It's one of the most aggressive forms of cancer.

Uh, one of the most foremost c- uh, consultants on cancer is oncologist Professor John Crown.

He says it's always been very difficult to treap- uh, treat, uh, but he is very positive, uh, about the move.

He says it's twinkle-of-the-eye stuff, and the drug has been developed by, uh, Dr. Eileen O'Reilly, uh, is a ca- gastrointestinal medical oncologist at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Care Center, uh, in New York.
