Malinga ndi dikishonale ya Oxford, tanthauzo la kuchira is "Kubwerera ku thanzi labwino, malingaliro, kapena mphamvu."

Ulendo wanga wa khansa unayamba pa July 15, 2011. Mwamuna wanga ndi mwana wanga atagwirana manja ndi manja anga, ndinamvetsera dokotala akundiuza kuti: “Karen, mayeso ako asonyeza kuti uli ndi khansa. Ndinamvetsera ndikulira pamene banja langa linkasonkhanitsa mosamala zonse zomwe ndikufunikira pa njira yotsatira ya chithandizo changa.

Kumayambiriro kwa Ogasiti ndidachitidwa opaleshoni yochotsa chiberekero (hysterectomy) yomwe madotolo adanditsimikizira kuti ikhoza kuchiritsa khansayo. Atadzuka kuchokera ku opaleshoni, dokotalayo anandilandira m’chipinda changa chachipatala mmene anandiuza nkhani yomvetsa chisoni yakuti khansa yapezeka m’ma lymph nodes angapo. Kuchotsedwa kwa ma lymph nodes kukanapangitsa kuti khansayo ifalikire kwambiri. Chithandizo chokhacho chomwe chinalipo ku khansa yanga ya siteji 4 chinali chemotherapy (chemo) ndi radiation. Nditachira kwa milungu isanu ndi umodzi, chithandizo changa chinayamba. Maulendo atsiku ndi tsiku opita ku labu ya radiation komanso kulowetsedwa kwa chemo sabata iliyonse, imodzi mwanthawi zovuta kwambiri pamoyo wanga, komabe panali zabwino paulendowu. Chithandizo cha radiation chinandichititsa kutopa, ndipo chemotherapy inandilepheretsa kumva bwino kwa masiku anayi kapena asanu pambuyo pa chithandizo chilichonse. Kulemera kunatsika ndipo ndinafooka. Nthawi yanga yambiri ndimayang'ana chiyembekezo ndikupemphera kuti ndipatsidwe nthawi yochulukirapo ndi anthu omwe ndimawakonda kwambiri, banja langa. Mkati mwa milungu isanu ndi itatu ya chithandizo changa, mwana wanga wamkazi analengeza kuti anali kuyembekezera mdzukulu wathu wachiŵiri mu May. Sindinakhulupirire mmene maganizo anga angasinthire kuchoka pa kukondwa kotheratu kufika pakutaya mtima nditaganizira za kubwera kwa mdzukulu wanga. Inali nthaŵi yosinthira kuchira kwanga. Ndinasankha kukhala wotsimikiza kuti ndimugwira mwana wamng'ono uyu m'manja mwanga. Nkhondo idakalipo! Nthawi ina yosangalatsa inafika pa ina, ndipo inasintha maganizo anga onse. Ndinatsimikiza mtima kuti matendawa sadzandithetsa. Ndinali ndi anthu oti ndikumane nawo, malo oti ndipiteko, ndi zinthu zoti ndichite! Ndinaganiza zokhala msilikali wamphamvu kuposa wina aliyense!

Chithandizocho chinali chovuta, koma ndinapirira. Pa December 9, 2011, ndinalandira uthenga wakuti ndinalibe khansa. Pa May 28, 2012 mdzukulu wanga Finn anabadwa.

Bwererani ku tanthauzo la kuchira. Thanzi langa lachira, thupi langa ndi lamphamvu, koma maganizo anga sanachire. Ilo silinabwererenso ku mkhalidwe wake wakale, ndipo ndikuyembekeza silidzatero. Tsopano ndimatenga nthawi kuti ndichepetse, kusangalala ndi kukongola kwa dziko londizungulira. Ndimayamikira kuseka kwa adzukulu anga, kucheza ndi mwamuna wanga usiku, nthaŵi imene ndapatsidwa ndi banja langa, ndi chimwemwe chochepa cha moyo watsiku ndi tsiku. Ndipo ndili ndi mnzanga wapamtima watsopano, dzina lake Finn. Mphamvu zanga sizinabwerere kumlingo wake wakale wa khansa. Tsopano ndili wamphamvu kuposa ndi kale lonse, ndipo ndikukonzekera zomwe zikubwera. Zinthu zomwe mwina zinkawoneka zovuta ndisanayambe nkhondo yanga ya khansa, tsopano zikuwoneka zosavuta kuzithetsa. Ngati ndingathe kuthana ndi khansa, ndingathe kuchita chilichonse. Moyo ndi wabwino ndipo ndili pamtendere.

Langizo langa - musaphonye kuyezetsa kwanu kwapachaka pazifukwa zilizonse. Iwo ndi ofunika kwambiri kuposa chilichonse chimene chingayese kuwalepheretsa.
