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.

- SpillsyMemberIt’s inspirational, it helped me in the first month of diagnosis when I was petrified of what future was in store for me. She is so down to earth and such a great speaker, I have bought a glass jar that can be my jar of joy!
- kmakmMemberThanks @spillsy. I'll check out her TED talk.
- SpillsyMemberI found this blog too, Amazing and helped me.
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. - kmakmMember@lrb_03 The book could be incredible. I hope it's not too Britain-centric.
- lrb_03MemberShe was diagnosed around the same time as me, I think. I've followed her blog since her early days. I'm excited to see what direction she now takes. I got that new entry, too
