Strictly Amy Dowden's Message After Co-Star's Cancer Diagnosis
Punam Krishan, a doctor and former Strictly star, urges early detection after completing breast cancer treatment and sharing her experience to encourage trust in body signals.
- In a public Instagram post, Krishan said five months ago she heard the words nobody ever wants to hear and kept her breast cancer diagnosis private during treatment to protect her energy and children.
- Krishan's concern began with a gut instinct, and despite almost two decades as a doctor and no family history, she was diagnosed following checks.
- She has now completed treatment and is healing, describing mixed feelings of gratitude, relief and being shaken, while praising NHS breast and oncology teams as extraordinary.
- Sharing now, she said carrying it quietly was heavy and urged people to know their bodies and act early, saying early detection saves lives and saved hers.
- Support poured in from family, friends and fellow professionals, with her husband, family and a small circle of friends carrying her through, while Strictly Come Dancing 2024 partner Gorka Marquez and Amy Dowden publicly offered encouragement.
