What happens when a doctor has a breast lump...

Send us a text

Picture this: You're a doctor and you discover a lump in your breast, but you brush it off, convincing yourself it's nothing serious. That's exactly what happened to me, and I'm here to share my real-life experience with you. Join me as I take you through my journey of self-denial and the eventual awakening to the gravity of my health situation. 

The fear of the unknown and the anxiety that gripped me, once I decided to get my lump checked, is something I'll unravel in this episode. I'll walk you through the extraordinary services provided by the NHS for breast cancer patients and how surprisingly quickly I got an appointment. More so, I'll highlight the importance of having a great healthcare professional by your side, using my interaction with my consultant as an example. 

In the latter part of our discussion, I'll be talking about the discomfort of undressing in front of medical professionals, a topic that needs more light shed on it. I'll share my personal experience with an ultrasound and the abruptness with which the radiologist entered the room. Lastly, this episode wouldn't be complete without discussing breast cancer awareness. I'll provide detailed instructions on self-examination and stress on the importance of not delaying a check-up if you find a lump. Because your peace of mind and health are worth acting promptly. Buckle up for an honest and insightful conversation that I hope will encourage you to prioritize your health.
