Diagnosed with cancer as an intern: ‘Everything was white noise — I didn’t know what to do or say’
Dr Shabnam Gujadhur was 30 when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
“When I walked into my postop review, the look in my gynaecologist’s eyes gave me the hint it was not good news.
“I have had the same facial expression when I have broken news to patients.”
Physician registrar Dr Shabnam Gujadhur was 30 when she was told of her diagnosis of mixed germ cell ovarian cancer in May 2022.
Afterwards, “everything was just like white noise”.
