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

I found this blog by an English breast surgeon who got BC herself to be incredibly useful & informative when I was first diagnosed. And then most especially the chemo guide when I found out I had to have it myself.
She hasn't posted for a long time but a notification just popped into my inbox, she's writing again. So if you're into blogs, check it out.

Her ted talk is fantastic too,
‘jar of joy’ . The book will be good as the co- author is a very established medical writer who also had breast cancer. It may be UK focused, such as support groups etc, but I am sure the information will be evidence based and practical as both ladies have been though breast cancer.

Liz messaged me on Twitter to say that male breast cancer is covered in her new book. Good news for men!
Eric Topol, an American physician, in his book 'The Patient Will See You Now', says that the patient is the single most unused person in healthcare. Finally, someone is listening.
Liz O’Riordan gives a totally honest and upfront discussion on her own Breast Cancer from discovery, to diagnosis, surgery and treatment and side effects and then a recurrence In 2018.
Start at the beginning and work your way thru at your own pace.

As a direct result of her BC, she has been forced to step away from her lifelong passion - being a Breast Cancer Surgeon
Her TEDx talks are well worth watching as well.
You can follow her on a Facebook as well.

take care xxx-
Liz's story is very inspiring and would be of interest to those being diagnosed. At the time I heard of her through a UK site and then Googled newspaper articles - she is very candid in all she says.
I cried as it all came flooding back,
It is an incredibly honest & emotional blog on her behalf - especially as she pretty well got all the symptoms that most of us got (and some!) yet our health professionals don't believe us ....... anyone who's health team don't believe YOUR symptoms - put them onto THIS blog!! It is from a highly regarded BC Surgeon - so SHOULD BE BELIEVED!
@Giovanna_BCNA - as @BlackWidow suggests - is there any way that a link to Liz O'Riordan's blog can be made as a 'sticky' somewhere as a 'must read'? I really believe that it will help a lot of newbies as they start their own treatment - coming from a BC Specialist herself.
"typical" ones! I actually feel better reading that this lovely lady and I had a lot of the same ones, so they were not imaginary.
I might give him the link and he can read the whole lot and add some new ones to the sheet of side effects I was given
