Dr Liz O’Riordan

Dr Liz O’Riordan was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer whilst working as a consultant breast surgeon in 2015 aged just 40. Her first book, ‘The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer: How to Feel Empowered and Take Control’, was her way of helping women when a local recurrence forced her to retire. Her best-selling memoir, ‘Under The Knife’, shares her experiences of life as a female surgeon before becoming a patient herself. Her third book, ‘The Cancer Roadmap’ explains what cancer is and how it’s treated. She’s of the top 100 Female Key Opinion Leaders in Oncology to follow on social media, and she hosts the podcast ‘So Now I’ve Got Breast Cancer’. She continues to help patients with evidence-based videos to explain and demystify cancer treatment and talks globally about how to improve cancer care.
