How A Yellow Promise Gave Dr Liz O'Riordan Back Her Identity.

from After awareness, then what? #CancerCanDoOne. · host LouthRunForLife

Dr Liz O'Riordan, consultant breast cancer surgeon. She was highly respected in what is still largely a male-dominated arena. Now retired, not out of choice. Back in 2015, she was appointed consultant in oncoplastic surgery in Suffolk. Two years later it's Liz who hears the words, you have breast cancer.  And that's happened three times. Now continuing her valuable work but this time through her books, substantial social media presence and TV work.  She has a new book out in January next year. She is one very busy, in-demand woman.  When Liz speaks, people listen...and they don't always agree, as you'll hear. A champion of evidence and truth, she's faced extraordinary levels of online bullying and death threats for challenging potentially damaging, misleading cancer opinions. But it's been quite a journey to get back to being Liz again - the woman she recognised after such a long and gruelling time. And that new identity was shaped by one promise and one colour - yellow.  This is Dr Liz O'Riordan...   ----more---- Liz O’Riordan's new book out January: https://lnk.to/TheCancerRoadmap https://tinyurl.com/Breast-Cancer-Book Speaker, Author and Storyteller - liz.oriordan.co.uk Author ‘Under The Knife’ and ‘The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer’  Podcast Host – So Now I've Got Breast Cancer YouTube @DrLizORiordan Instagram @oriordanliz Twitter @Liz_ORiordan    And...make a difference in cancer care here:   https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/unite/louth-run-for-life-2024   #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth  #breastcancer #cancercandoone #cancerresearchuk #lizoriordan Music: #Uppbeat : License code: OV4JX0OUSXKVGKIK
