Liz O'Riordan - breast surgeon with BC Recommended to Read

Yes I found this book very helpful.

Bumping this one so any new members may see it .....

This is the very honest story of Liz O'Riordan, a British Breast Surgeon who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, then had a Recurrence ..... and how stunned she was to realise that she had no idea, really, on the full impact of the BC diagnosis/surgery/treatment on her patients - let alone herself - and how it has affected her own life, both professionally and personally.

She is a respected TEDx speaker & has written a book The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer (see above pics)

The link on the first page is broken ... but if you click on THIS link (and when you've read it, go to the top of the page & click on 'next' on the R/H side to go to the NEXT link ...) you will be able to follow her story as it 'happened' ... The whole blog is well worth a read & you can do it 'in stages' ....

She also had to stop practising as a Surgeon, as her various surgeries resulted in her losing full arm movement  :( 

Her Facebook Post just before Xmas, re Scanxiety - I think many of us can relate to what she says:

Her own struggle with mental illness, following her recovery:

And her recent podcasts called "Don't Ignore the Elephant' - on various subjects that we may relate to:

colthul - in the search 🔍  in  Libby I only put breast cancer in and it showed me any books /magazine available and that’s how I found it . 

Well,at least give them a call,and check,that they’re subscribed to Libby ? If they are they may be able to,talk,you through the steps 

Many Thanks @noosa_blue150

Sadly, We're under hard lockdown (supposed to finish on Sunday but I'll believe it when I see it!)

All the libraries are closed :(  

Arpie - I’d check,in with your library staff (take your iPad with you if,you can ) .we had icon on our library site and then just copied it,over from there . It will,possibly only work if your library is participating 

Do you have a link to that Libby site @noosa_blue150?  I found hard copies available to borrow on the Library links (ion Vic) but not an ebook!

take care xx

Just found this on google .... pic below .... to instal on iphone & ipad

I've tried searching on Libby and can't seem to find it. I must be doing it wrong

Yep @arpie that is something I am fast learning, I am calling my doctor today to clarify discrepancies between biopsy results and the surgeons report...
