Dr Liz O’Riordan is leading the way in getting us talking about cancer. She was 40 and working as a consultant breast surgeon when she herself was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. What she then went through opened her eyes to how women with cancer are treated, and all the things they aren’t told or warned about. She’s now changing the conversation with her books and online presence.

In this episode she and Stephanie discuss how difficult it was to deal with cancer when you have insider knowledge of the potential consequences, all the symptoms she wasn’t expecting and how others can deal with them, the impact of cancer on mental health and sexual relationships, and the joy she’s found in reshaping her career.
