Tsiku Lofufuza za Khansa ya M'mawere Padziko Lonse

August 18 ndi Tsiku Lofufuza za Khansa ya M'mawere Padziko Lonse. Ogasiti 18 ndi tsiku losankhidwa chifukwa cha 1 mwa amayi 8 ndi 1 mwa amuna 833 omwe adzapezeka ndi khansa ya m'mawere m'moyo wawo wonse. Pafupifupi 12 peresenti ya milandu yonse padziko lonse lapansi imapezeka ngati khansa ya m'mawere. Malinga ndi American Cancer Society, khansa ya m'mawere imayambitsa 30% ya khansa zonse zatsopano za akazi pachaka ku United States. Kwa amuna, amalingalira zimenezo 2,800 milandu yatsopano ya khansa ya m'mawere adzapezeka.

Lero ndi tsiku lofunika kwa ine chifukwa chakumapeto kwa 1999, ndili ndi zaka 35, amayi anga anapezeka ndi khansa ya m’mawere ya Gawo lachitatu. Ndinali mwana wazaka zisanu ndi chimodzi yemwe sindimamvetsetsa zonse zomwe zinali kuchitika koma osafunikira kunena; inali nkhondo yovuta. Amayi anga adapambana ndewu yawo, ndipo ngakhale ambiri aife tidawanena kuti anali ngwazi, adati izi zidatheka chifukwa chokhala ndi mwayi wopita kuchipatala panthawiyo. Tsoka ilo, mu 2016 adapezeka ndi khansa ya ovarian, ndipo pofika 2017, thupi lake linali litakula, ndipo pa Januware 26, 2018, adamwalira. Ngakhale ndi dzanja loyipa lomwe adachitidwa, nthawi zonse amakhala woyamba kunena kuti kafukufuku wa khansa, makamaka khansa ya m'mawere, ndi chinthu chomwe tiyenera kuthokoza komanso kuti sitepe iliyonse pakufufuza tiyenera kukondwerera. Pakadapanda kafukufuku yemwe adapangidwa kuti apange mayeso azachipatala omwe adayesa, sanatsimikizire ngati akanakhala ndi khansa ya m'mawere ndikukhala ndi mwayi wokhala ndi moyo zaka zina 17 ndi khansa yokhululukidwa. .

Mayesero azachipatala omwe amayi anga adakhala nawo anali regimen yomwe imagwiritsidwa ntchito carboplatin, mankhwala omwe anapezeka m'zaka za m'ma 1970 ndipo adavomerezedwa koyamba ndi FDA mu 1989. Kuti asonyeze momwe kafukufuku wofulumira angapangire kusiyana, patadutsa zaka khumi kuchokera pamene FDA adavomerezedwa, amayi anga anali mbali ya mayesero achipatala omwe amawagwiritsa ntchito. Carboplatin akadali gawo la mayesero a zachipatala lero, zomwe zimapereka mwayi wofufuza kwa iwo omwe amasankha mankhwala omwe amagwiritsa ntchito mayesero achipatala. Pali zabwino ndi zoyipa zomwe muyenera kuziganizira. Komabe, amapereka mwayi woti kafukufuku achitidwe komanso zatsopano zachipatala kuti zipite patsogolo.

Khansara ya m'mawere yakhalapo nthawi zonse ndipo imatha kuwonedwa kuyambira 3000 BC muzopereka zoperekedwa ndi anthu a ku Greece wakale mu mawonekedwe a mawere kwa Asclepius, mulungu wa mankhwala. Anzeru, yemwe amaonedwa kuti ndi tate wa mankhwala a Kumadzulo, ananena kuti ndi matenda a dongosolo, ndipo chiphunzitso chake chinakhalapo mpaka pakati pa zaka za m'ma 1700 pamene Henri Le Dran, dokotala wa ku France, ananena kuti kuchotsa opaleshoni kungathe kuchiza khansa ya m'mawere. Lingaliro lomwe silinayesedwe mpaka chakumapeto kwa zaka za m'ma 1800 pamene mastectomy yoyamba idachitidwa, ndipo ngakhale kuti inali yothandiza kwambiri, idasiya odwala omwe ali ndi moyo wotsika. Mu 1898 Marie ndi Pierre Curie anapeza radium ya radioactive element, ndipo zaka zingapo pambuyo pake, idagwiritsidwa ntchito pochiza khansa, kalambulabwalo wa mankhwala amakono a chemotherapy. Pafupifupi zaka 50 pambuyo pake, m’zaka za m’ma 1930, chithandizo chinakhala chovuta kwambiri, ndipo madokotala anayamba kugwiritsa ntchito ma radiation olunjika limodzi ndi opaleshoni kuti athandize odwala kukhala ndi moyo wabwino. Kupita patsogolo kudapitilira kuyambira pamenepo mpaka kupangitsa kuti pakhale chithandizo chamankhwala chomwe tili nacho masiku ano, monga ma radiation, chemotherapy, ndipo nthawi zambiri, kudzera m'mitsempha komanso mapiritsi.

Masiku ano, njira imodzi yodziwika bwino kwa omwe ali ndi mbiri yakale ya khansa ya m'mawere ndikuyesa chibadwa kuti muwone ngati kusintha kwa majini kulipo kwa inu. Majini awa ndi khansa ya m'mawere 1 (BRCA1) ndi khansa ya m'mawere 2 (BRCA2), zomwe nthawi zambiri zimakuthandizani kuti musatenge khansa zina. Komabe, akakhala ndi masinthidwe omwe amawalepheretsa kuchita maopaleshoni abwinobwino, amakhala pachiwopsezo chotenga khansa zina, monga khansa ya m'mawere ndi khansa ya m'mawere. Kuyang'ana m'mbuyo paulendo wa amayi anga nawo, anali m'modzi mwa anthu opanda mwayi omwe sanawonetse kusintha pakuyesa kwawo kwa majini, zomwe zinali zomvetsa chisoni podziwa kuti panalibe zizindikiro za zomwe zidamupangitsa kuti atengeke ndi khansa ya m'mawere ndi yam'mimba. . Komabe, anapeza chiyembekezo, makamaka chifukwa chakuti zimenezi zinatanthauza kuti ine ndi mchimwene wanga tinali paupandu wochepa wotengera kusinthako.

Kaya ndinu mwamuna kapena mkazi, m'pofunika kwambiri kudziwa kuopsa kwa khansa ya m'mawere, ndipo uphungu woyamba ndi wakuti musadumphe kukayezedwa; ngati chinachake chikulakwika, lankhulani ndi dokotala wanu za izo. Kafukufuku wa khansa nthawi zonse amasintha, koma ndi bwino kukumbukira kuti tapita patsogolo mu nthawi yochepa. Khansara ya m'mawere iyenera kuti yakhudza ambiri aife kudzera mukupezeka ndi matenda, wachibale wathu, okondedwa athu, kapena mabwenzi. Chomwe chimandithandiza ndikaganizira za khansa ya m'mawere ndikuti nthawi zonse pamakhala china chake choti ndikhale ndi chiyembekezo. Kafukufuku wapita patsogolo kwambiri mpaka pano. Izo sizidzatha zokha. Mwamwayi, tikukhala m'nthawi ya anthu oganiza bwino komanso kupita patsogolo kwaukadaulo komwe kumapangitsa kuti kafukufuku achitepo kanthu, chifukwa nthawi zambiri amathandizidwa ndi anthu. Ganizirani kupeza chifukwa chomwe chikugwirizana ndi inu kuti mupereke.

Amayi anga nthawi zonse ankakondwerera kukhala ndi khansa ya m'mawere. Ngakhale kuti matenda ake a khansa ya m’chiberekero ndi amene sanathe kuwagonjetsa, ndimasankhabe kumuona choncho. Posakhalitsa nditakwanitsa zaka 18, ndidalemba tattoo padzanja langa kukondwerera kupambana kwake, ndipo pomwe wapita tsopano, ndimasankhabe kuyang'ana tattooyo ndikukondwerera nthawi yowonjezera yomwe timakumbukira ndikuwonetsetsa kuti ndimalemekeza munthu yemwe amamupatsa. anali.
