A-Z of Breast Cancer by Dr Liz O'Riordan

It's been a while since Dr Liz O'Riordan has been mentioned ..... she is/was a British Breast Cancer Surgeon who had to give up doing Surgery following her diagnosis, surgery & treatment (mainly due to Cording but also for emotional reasons.)
She is very honest about all she has been thru - and admits that as a surgeon, she really didn't realise many of the  emotional and physical side effects of treatments for BC.

You can read her story here from 2015 when she was first diagnosed - and had 2 recurrences - it is enlightening:

 A previous post about here, here:
Dr Liz O'Riordan talks about her surgeries & aftermath - A UK Breast Surgeon with Breast Cancer | BCNA Online Network

She has also written a couple of books on Breast Cancer - including The Cancer Roadmap'.

She posts valuable info regularly on Instagram and Youtube with valuable info on Breast Cancer from her knowledge as a Breast Cancer Surgeon - and also from her own experiences (including depression) linked to her treatment .....

The link (below) is the 'end' of her A-Z Dictionary of Breast Cancer!!
Once you've watched the Z for Zoladex ..... just press the arrow and keep going 'back' to the previous 'letters'.  She explains how the meds 'work' & what the treatments 'do'.
