The GlioBabes, a podcast created by two young women who were both diagnosed with brain tumours at a young age. Mel and Mol are creating a safe space to talk about their experiences and to raise awareness of brain tumours and ill health within the young population.

Season 9 - back to the professionals by popular demand! Today we welcome Dr Liz O’Riordan, a breast surgeon who became a breast cancer patient.

Breast cancer? But this is brain tumours? Well, Liz’s work goes far beyond and impacts us all, even those in perfect health.

From social media BS and dangerous claims online, to the realities of being a patient that seem impossible to communicate to those around us, Liz not only provides safe and practical tips for those on “Dr Google” as well as validating how we feel.

Liz has multiple books (including the cancer roadmap mentioned in the episode) available to buy online, and why not check out her podcast “So Now I’ve Got Breast Cancer”.

The episode is now available on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.
