See video with breast surgeon, a 2-time breast cancer survivor

Posted by dolphina3 @dolphina3, Sep 13, 2023

Dr. Liz Riordan is a breast cancer surgeon that has had breast cancer twice and to help others going thru it she has very helpful u tube videos taking you thru all aspects of a cancer journey and answering questions. She wants to help women better understand the journey.

It has really helped me a lot.

Thank you

I just watched Dr. Liz O'Riordan's 9 minute video giving an overview of her cancer journey and it was quite something that as an expert she did not feel or suspect she had cancer either time. Thank you for sharing this. I'll likely watch some of her other videos. It broke my heart that she had to retire because she can't move her arm well enough to operate anymore. I've included the youtube link below.

My breast surgeon the first time around was also a breast cancer survivor who had a double mastectomy, chemo, etc. and it was nice having a surgeon who understood the journey from a patient's perspective.

I am glad you liked her video and am so glad you had a surgeon who could understand what emotions you would be going thru and could answer your questions with such knowledge.
Mine were all male doctors so that was not as comforting, good doctors tho.
Thanks for putting the link up I didn't know how to do that. I realized I left the O out of her name so thanks for your computer knowledge.
Hope your journey is going well now, you mentioned a surgeon the second round

Thanks again and hugs to you
