サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In this episode, my guest shares her unique experience of cancer.
Dr Liz O'Riordan was working as a consultant breast surgeon in 2015 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time.
After decades of treating people with breast cancer, the doctor was now the patient and Liz realised how little she knew about the treatments and experience for breast cancer.
Three years later cancer returned on her chest wall. She had both breasts removed which meant she couldn't move her left shoulder and was forced to retire.
We cover:
- what it is like going from doctor to patient
- Losing your career and identity
- how little we are taught about menopause
And more!
