Oct. 29, 2009 By Karen McEnany-Phillips –snip– Certified breast surgeon Dr. Shenin Sachedina lives to battle breast disease every day. In 1996 she founded the Central Florida Breast Center P.A., which is equipped with state-of-the-art weapons and flanked by a select team of trusted radiologists, oncologists and plastic surgeons from multiple medical institutions.
–snip– Freedom, timing, and education have shaped Sachedina’s entire life. Born in Uganda, her childhood changed dramatically in 1972 when the country’s former president, Idi Amin, seized the property of all European and Asian citizens forcing thousands from the country.
Eight-year-old Sachedina stood in line with her parents and three brothers praying to board one of the last planes out of Entebbe. They reached a refugee settlement in Rome, and eventually came to America with $20 after a Chicago church sponsored the family of six.
Her father worked in a construction equipment factory and her mother learned English by watching “Sesame Street”.
“I remember my father’s calloused hands. He never refused overtime,” she said.
All four children worked during high school and were unequivocally expected to attend college. Sachedina attended medical school and ultimately interned with world-renowned breast surgeon S. Eva Singletary at University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. It was there Sachedina discovered her career passion. — More —
