Imagine being a seasoned breast surgeon, only to be struck by cancer yourself-this was Dr. Liz Riodan's shocking reality in 2015, when her world turned upside down at just 40 years old. Despite her expertise, the transition from confident doctor to terrified patient was jarring as she watched chemotherapy drugs enter her veins. After 18 months of treatment, she returned to her practice, only to face a heartbreaking recurrence that forced her into early retirement at 43.
