About this listen

Today's chat really digs deep into showing bravery and transforming adversity into something empowering.

Dr Liz O'Riordan is a former breast surgeon, who, at the age of 40, was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. She realised just how little she knew about the treatment she used to offer her patients.

She began using talks and social media to improve the quality of cancer care.

Her own cancer returned and left her unable to move her left shoulder...which ended her career as a surgeon.

Liz talks with great honesty about the challenges she's face having now been diagnosed with cancer 3 times and how she has found purpose in her life.

Liz has written a number of books including The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer, Under the Knife and The Cancer Roadmap.
