Under the Knife: The Surgeon who became the patient with Dr. Liz O’Riordan (S9 E10)

She thought she knew cancer—until it was her diagnosis.Dr. Liz O’Riordan’s life changed in an instant, and so did her mission.

Full Description:

Dr. Liz O’Riordan knew cancer. She’d spent years standing in operating theatres, guiding women through the darkest chapters of their lives. But nothing prepared her for the day she became the patient.

Diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer at just 40, Liz’s world collapsed. Not once—but twice more. And when side effects forced her to give up the job she loved, she was left with a question far more terrifying than cancer itself: Who am I now?

This episode is not just about illness—it’s about identity, loss, reinvention, and the radical courage to speak truth to a system that often silences the very people it serves.

Today, Liz is a powerful voice in the world of cancer care. She’s the author of The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer, the memoir Under the Knife, and the new myth-busting book The Cancer Roadmap. She hosts the podcast Don’t Ignore the Elephant, and creates honest, evidence-based content for her 100K+ followers—fighting misinformation and bringing light to the emotional and clinical realities of life after diagnosis.

In this deeply human conversation, Dr. Liz talks about how her parents’ medical careers inspired her interest in the field, why her own mental health struggles are not a weakness, how saying “no” is a full sentence, and what it’s like to lose everything you thought defined you—only to discover something meaningful in its place. Because sometimes, the real story doesn’t begin until the scalpel’s turned inward..
