Scottish doctor Dr. Punam Krishan, despite no family history and a healthy lifestyle, was diagnosed with breast cancer and now urges early detection.

Despite having no family history and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, 42-year-old Scottish physician and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Dr. Punam Krishan has disclosed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer five months ago. Despite having worked as a doctor for almost 20 years, she said the diagnosis was shocking and emotionally taxing. She relied on friends, family, and the NHS for support while undergoing treatment, keeping her illness a secret to preserve her energy and her kids. As she recovers, she stressed the value of early detection and encouraged others to follow their gut feelings and get help if they notice any strange physical changes. Fans, other celebrities, and medical professionals have all expressed strong support for her open message.
