On this powerful episode of The Welloff Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Liz O’Riordan — a renowned British breast surgeon turned global breast cancer advocate, who has faced breast cancer not once, but three times. From surgeon to survivor, Dr. Liz shares her remarkable journey of navigating life on both sides of the scalpel and debunks some of the most common — and surprising — myths about breast cancer that even doctors get wrong.

Dr. O’Riordan trained in oncoplastic breast surgery at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London and went on to become a consultant surgeon at Ipswich Hospital. After her own diagnosis, she shifted her focus from operating to openly educating — through her blogs, TED Talk, and bestselling book The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer, co-authored with Professor Trisha Greenhalgh. Her memoir, Under the Knife, released in 2023, offers an unfiltered look at her experience facing the disease for the third time and her mission to empower women through awareness, honesty, and hope.

Join Gina and Dr. Tara as they continue Breast Cancer Awareness Month with this inspiring, eye-opening, and deeply human conversation about strength, self-advocacy, and what it truly means to live well after cancer.
