Liz O’Riordan is an international speaker, broadcaster and award-winning co-author of ‘The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer: How to Feel Empowered and Take Control’. In 2015 (aged 40) she was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer whilst working as a Consultant Breast Surgeon. A locoregional recurrence in 2018 forced her to retire as a surgeon. Her memoir, ‘Under The Knife’, is released on July 6th 2023 (pre-order here)

During chemotherapy she started an award-winning blog about her experiences (www.liz.oriordan.co.uk) and now talks all over the world about how to improve patient care. In 2020 she launched her podcast – Don’t Ignore The Elephant – that talks about the things no-one else does, like sex, death and body image. Liz is passionate about promoting the benefits of exercise for cancer patients.

During this episode, Liz explains why she decided to write her memoir – Under the Knife, where she shares how she trained to be a doctor but how her life dramatically changed when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Liz explained what it was like to be a breast cancer surgeon who has breast cancer. She has also suffered with depression and suicidal thoughts. She wrote her book as she felt she could help people understand some of these issues. We also discuss the importance of exercise, Liz has done some serious challenges, and Liz’s love of wild swimming. And her love of hedgehogs. Liz is also the co-author of ‘The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer’
