Troon, a town of long sweeping beaches, 13,000 people and six golf courses, shaped Diane’s upbringing, as much as did her mother’s eccentricities. When Diane was aged four, Margery declared she was “underfoot,” and sent her off to school. An advantage of this early start in education was her entry into University of Glasgow Medical School at the age of sixteen.
Diane went on to specialize in breast cancer surgery, and has had a distinguished career in both academic surgery and private practice. She came to the United States in 1985 to pursue her surgical oncology fellowship, arriving with seven suitcases and her golf clubs. She has been listed as one of the “Best Doctors in America” every year since 1996, and is also one of America’s “Top Doctors.”
An accomplished speaker, she has presented to both lay and professional audiences, numbering from a hundred to many thousands. She is the author of numerous academic research papers and book chapters, has been quoted in many online media articles and print media, and has appeared on TV discussing breast cancer related topics. She is a staff breast surgical oncologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, and resides in Highland Heights with her spouse, their dogs Snickers and Heidi, and Buttercup the tabby.
Her essays have appeared in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.
Despite all these many achievements, however, she is and always will be Margery Radford’s little girl.ver menos
