Life Lessons from the Operating Theatre

Produktbeschreibung

Dr Liz O'Riordan is a breast cancer surgeon who has battled against social, physical and mental challenges to practise at the top of her field. Under the Knife charts Liz's incredible highs: performing like a couture dressmaker as she moulded and reshaped women's breasts, while saving their lives; to the heart-breaking lows of telling ten women a day that they had cancer. But this memoir is more than just an eye-opening look at the realities of training to be a female surgeon in a man's world. In addition to this high-powered, high-pressured role, Liz faced her own breast cancer diagnosis, severe depression and suicidal thoughts, in tandem with commonplace sexual harassment and bullying. And by revealing how she coped when her life crashed around her, she demonstrates there is always hope.

She had chemotherapy, a mastectomy and radiotherapy, and started an award-winning blog (liz.oriordan.co.uk - Breast Surgeon with Breast Cancer) to talk about her experiences to help patients and health care professionals see what having breast cancer is really like, in an honest, friendly way. She gives talks all over the world about her experiences, including a TEDx Stuttgart talk, 'Jar of Joy', about how to help anyone with cancer. In 2018 she had a local recurrence of her breast cancer, and had surgery and more radiotherapy to treat it. She appeared on the final podcast of 'You, Me and the Big C' for BBC"s Radio 5 Live.
