What happens when you go from being the doctor to becoming the patient?

In honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we sit down with Dr. Hajra, an NHS GP and breast cancer survivor, for an honest and deeply personal conversation about the moment her life changed.

At just 37, Dr. Hajra found herself on the other side of medicine after receiving a diagnosis of advanced breast cancer. Suddenly, the person who had spent years caring for others was navigating her own diagnosis, treatment, and the emotional reality of being a patient.

In this episode, we explore her journey beyond the diagnosis — from the challenges of losing her identity as a doctor to navigating life after cancer, rediscovering herself, and finding joy in the little things again.

It’s a conversation about resilience, vulnerability, perspective, and the parts of a cancer journey that aren’t always spoken about.

Because sometimes, the most powerful stories in medicine come from those who have experienced both sides of it.

🔥Burning Question

We spray it on our wrists, neck, clothes sometimes several times a day but how much do we actually know about what’s inside our favourite perfume?

In this episode of the Consultation Room Podcast, we are asking: could perfume be doing more to our skin and bodies than simply making us smell good?

We get into fragrance ingredients, alcohol, skin irritation, allergies and sensitisation, what “fragrance” on an ingredient list can actually mean, and the growing conversation around certain fragrance chemicals and potential hormone-related concerns.

Is spraying perfume directly onto your skin really something we should think twice about? Is clothing a better place to spray it? And does “natural” perfume automatically mean safer?

Before you reach for your favourite bottle tomorrow morning… you might want to hear this one. 👀

The Burning Question:
🔥 How worried should we actually be about the hidden risks of perfume especially when we spray it directly onto our skin every day?
