The day Dr Liz O'Riordan chose to specialise in breast surgery, she knew was choosing a surgical specialty where she could directly help hundreds of women. Little did she know that her breast cancer diagnosis would allow her to help thousands.

When Liz was treated for the disease she'd spent her life learning to operate on, she realised how much more there was to learn, and with a characteristic desire to help others she decided to share her journey and try to give other women the answers she'd been unable to find. Told from the fascinating dual perspective of surgeon and patient, the online community she built changed her life forever.

Under the Knife goes one step further. More than a medical memoir or the tale of a cancer survivor, this is Liz's whole story; from childhood, through medical school and surgical training, her cancer diagnosis, to today. By revealing how she coped when her life crashed around her, she demonstrates there is always hope.
