I'm a breast cancer expert and breast cancer patient. If you want to know more about breast cancer, this is the only channel you need to subscribe to. As a breast surgeon and now a patient, my only goal is to help you understand breast cancer. I'll answer any questions - so if there's anything you want to know, get in touch.
If you want more info on breast cancer outside of my videos, check out my books, blog and podcast 'The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer' - by Liz O'Riordan and Trish Greenhalgh 'Under The Knife' by Liz O'Riordan : my memoir as a breast surgeon with breast cancer Podcast - Don't Ignore The Elephant - the cancer podcast with Dr Liz O'Riordan (wherever you get your pods) Blog - www.liz.oriordan.co.uk

Her statement is just like what christ ('christ beat cancer' writer ) explain on this channel. All of cells need sugar. The cancer cell likes glutamine more than sugar. Sugar in whole food is not harmful
I am on Anastrazole now have osteopenia and 3A CKD. I feel so screwed. What can I take? Can I take calcium Caltrate? Doctor told me to take magnesium both can cause issues, is there another alternative I can ask the doctor about?
Would you be able to talk about how Tamoxifen is also used as a preventative for high risk patients? I have been recommended to take it after surgery. I have had a recurrence of proliferative disease with Complex sclerosing lesion and LCIS a year after a wide excision biopsy. There is plenty if information about what these are but not a lot about the disease process.
My cousin (mom's side) was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer and died within 6 months of her diagnosis, at age 44. I am 47, and recently lost 34pounds in a 3- months span without trying; I'm so tired and achy with left upper back/side pain (and in the last 2 weeks, my left breast hurts too), so I had a CT scan of my chest, and they found a 2cm lump. My breast health and mammogram is October 1st. I just completed the self exam from the video. I get the pucker when I raise my arms, and some bulging and bluing of the veins along the outside ant top of the breast that is painful. How likely is it that I have what she did?
My partner and I had protected intercourse for the first time on August 10, 2024. It wasn’t a complete intercourse, but to be extra cautious, I took an emergency contraceptive pill within 20 hours. My period or withdrawal bleeding occurred on my usual date, August 19. However, on September 8, I noticed a small, watery, slightly cloudy discharge from my nipples. There's no pain or tenderness, but it's been happening for the last few weeks, though only a tiny amount when pressed (like a dot). I'm not sure if this is normal or something I should be concerned about. Could you please advise? And yesterday I got my period with cramps ....there any chance of getting pregnant?? Is it possible? Or should I go for a home pregnancy test!? I'm too confused plss help.. Is it side effects of emergency contraceptive pill?
Hi I’ve been on tamoxifen for a few months now and I’ve started having really itchy skin on my back which is keeping me awake at night with the sweats 😢
My mom died recently on Easter and I am handling it very hard cause we were always together and did things together and I was also her caregiver for many years, seeing her in the hospital and fighting for her life traumatized me deeply
Didn’t they make it illegal to claim you have a cure for cancer? Apart from ones that make lots of money due to patented poisons and devastating procedures? There are many doctors and oncologists, for example dr simanici who did find cures that are natural and work in harmony with the body and with their great scientific track records have gained many cured patients, but oh, they have to be put below the public radar. You public fear mongers will no longer be relevant once people wake up to the real truth.
This video made me so releaived for real i couldn't sleep for three days already not because i had constant pain because i was so worried that made me question about it... thanks so much i needed this.. 🙏❤
I live in the States and I feel the medical team is scarier than CANCER and I'm not even talking about the screwed up never ending medical bills that will keep coming in and in. The whole process can make one very ill, even if you weren't sick.
I remember a famous woman in my country years ago was all over the news, giving interviews in magazines and appearing in talk shows, because she decided to fight breast cancer with alternative medicine. She died after a couple of years later of metastatic breast cancer. The story stuck by me for years and now that I´ve been diagnosed myself with stage 3 breast cancer I´m happy to be in the hands of the excellent medical team at my University Hospital. (And treated by my cute surgeon 😘 hahaha, half the women in his care have a crush on him!)
Many gallbladders removed from women who’ve worn these torture devices. Gallbladder pressure point (below right breast) when pressed by underwire bra (possibly tight bras of any kind) causes disease & disregulation of gallbladder leading eventually to removal of the infected gangrenous gallbladder. Explains why we all know many women who’ve had their gallbladder removed.
I was diagnosed with HER2 + Hormone negative BC stage 2B in Jan 2021. Had PCR after 4 rounds chem (TCHP) (this is 2 less than protocol in the US and my choice), had mastectomy/reconstruction in one surgery and there was 0 cancer at surgery. I did not do the hercepton/perjeta maintenance, (again not protocol in the US). I fasted for 2-3 days before all chemo, was extremely sensitive to the TCHP, lost all hair, lost weight, had skin rashes, eye problems, etc., but everything came back exactly the same afterwards. Feeling great, and very positive. I always check to see the latest treatments and information on HER2 + BC.
Why are conventional doctors so boiled over that Elle is here and alive now. If she was doing conventional therapy, you'd call her a survivor. As a nurse of 25 years, I've also seen breat cancer return with vengeance after chemo, resection and radiation.
Was on HRT for 15 months after GP said my headaches were down to menopause. She sent me the Balance app (Newson) sales brochure on the wonders of HRT. 15 months later, invasive ductal carcinoma, stage1, hormone+ breast cancer, grade 2. Came off HRT straight away, 6 weeks later, lumpectomy and histology said cancer had reduced to a grade 1 slow growing. How the Newson clinic is getting away with saying oestrogen is safe is beyond me. Moreover, no mention that HRT increases breast density, which not only hides cancers, but where cancers proliferate. Follow the money.
I'm seeing my oncologist on Monday to discuss going on an aromatase inhibitor. I was diagnosed with a small Grade 1 IDC in August, but I can't have surgery until November because my surgery will take about six hours and my surgeon is booked up. So my doctor wants to start me on an AI, just not sure which one yet. My cancer is ER+ PR- HER2-.
Not in UK but I didn't go initially because of the way it was scheduled FOR me with zero input (as in no dr said it was about time to go). I got a random cold call from a radiology dept at a very bad time. So i refused to make an appt. Then didn't get around to it for another 2 years. The fact is, I trust a rabid dog more than I trust the medical industry in the US. #1... I have gotten no impression as a whole that patients are anything other than dollar signs and/or annoyances walking thru those doors. #2. Medical accidents are so common that I am more inclined to just go from natural causes, whatever those may be, than place my trust in these people. #3 I can't afford to get dragged into another medical merri-go-round from h*** for the next however many years because some 'screening' showed that I may need to spend every last penny we have to see if I am unlucky. A positive biopsy would probably lose us our home... No thanks.
my tumor continues to grow. Im on my 4th cylce. my regimen are docetaxel and cyclophosphamide. Y does it still continues to grow even while im on chemo Doc?
