Usuku Lomhlaba Lokucwaninga Ngomdlavuza Webele

By UJake G

Ngo-August 18 Usuku Lomhlaba Lokucwaninga Ngomdlavuza Webele. Umhla ziyi-18 kuNcwaba wusuku oluqokiwe ngenxa yabesifazane oyedwa kwabayisi-1 kanye noyedwa kwabangama-8 besilisa abazotholakala banomdlavuza webele empilweni yabo. Amaphesenti angu-1% azo zonke izifo emhlabeni wonke atholakala njengomdlavuza webele. Ngokusho kwe-American Cancer Society, i-akhawunti yomdlavuza webele U-30% wawo wonke umdlavuza wabesifazane abasha minyaka yonke e-United States. Kwabesilisa, bayalinganisela lokho Izimo ezintsha ezingu-2,800 zomdlavuza webele ohlaselayo izotholakala.

Namuhla usuku olubalulekile kimi ngoba ngasekupheleni kuka-1999, eneminyaka engu-35 ubudala, umama wami watholakala enomdlavuza webele weSigaba III. Ngangiyingane eneminyaka eyisithupha ubudala engangingaqondi konke okwakwenzeka kodwa kungadingeki ukuba ngikusho; kwakuyimpi enzima. Umama wamnqoba impi yakhe, futhi nakuba iningi lethu lalithi lokhu kwakubangelwa ukuba yiqhawe elinamandla, wathi lokhu kungenxa yokufinyelela ezivivinyweni zomtholampilo ngaleso sikhathi. Ngeshwa, ngo-2016 kwatholakala ukuthi unomdlavuza wesibeletho, kwathi ngo-2017, wawususukile emzimbeni wakhe, kwathi ngoJanuwari 26, 2018, washona. Ngisho nangesandla esibi aphathwa ngaso, ubehlale engowokuqala ukusho ukuthi ucwaningo ngomdlavuza, ikakhulukazi umdlavuza webele, yinto okufanele siyibonge futhi kufanele sikujabulele zonke izinyathelo zocwaningo. Ukube bekungengenxa yocwaningo olwenziwa ukuthuthukisa izivivinyo zomtholampilo akwazile ukuzizama, wayengenaso isiqiniseko sokuthi ngabe umdlavuza webele wawuzokhululeka yini futhi abe nethuba lokuphila eminye iminyaka engu-17 nomdlavuza usuphelile. .

Uhlolo lomtholampilo umama akwazi ukuba yingxenye yalo kwaba uhlobo lwemithi olwalusetshenziswa i-carboplatin, umuthi owatholwa ngeminyaka yawo-1970 futhi wagunyazwa okokuqala yi-FDA ngo-1989. Ukukhombisa ukuthi ucwaningo olusheshayo lungenza umehluko kangakanani, eminyakeni eyishumi emfushane ngemva kokugunyazwa yi-FDA, umama wami wayeyingxenye yokuhlolwa komtholampilo esisebenzisa. I-Carboplatin iseyingxenye yayo izivivinyo zokwelashwa namuhla, okunikeza amathuba ocwaningo kulabo abakhetha imithi yokwelapha esebenzisa izivivinyo zemitholampilo. Kukhona kokubili okuhle nokubi ngokubamba iqhaza kulezi zivivinyo okufanele kucatshangelwe. Noma kunjalo, banikeza ikhono lokuthi kwenziwe ucwaningo kanye nezinto ezintsha zokwelapha ukuthi zithuthuke.

Umdlavuza wamabele ubulokhu ukhona futhi ungabonakala kusukela ngo-3000 BC eminikelweni eyenziwa abantu baseGrisi lasendulo ngesimo samabele ku-Asclepius, unkulunkulu wezokwelapha. AmaHippocrates, obhekwa njengoyise wezokwelapha zaseNtshonalanga, wasikisela ukuthi kwakuyisifo sesistimu, futhi inkolelo-mbono yakhe yahlala kwaze kwaba maphakathi nawo-1700 lapho uHenri Le Dran, udokotela ongumFulentshi, esikisela ukuthi ukususwa ngokuhlinzwa kungawelapha umdlavuza wamabele. Umbono ongazange uhlolwe kuze kube sekupheleni kwawo-1800 lapho kwenziwa i-mastectomy yokuqala, futhi ngenkathi isebenza ngokusesilinganisweni, yashiya iziguli zinekhwalithi yokuphila ephansi. Ngo-1898 uMarie noPierre Curie bathola i-radioactive element radium, futhi eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, yasetshenziselwa ukwelapha umdlavuza, isandulela se-chemotherapy yesimanje. Cishe eminyakeni engu-50 kamuva, ngawo-1930, ukwelashwa kwaba yinkimbinkimbi kakhulu, futhi odokotela baqala ukusebenzisa imisebe ehlosiwe kanye nokuhlinzwa ukuze basize ukunikeza iziguli izinga elingcono lokuphila. Inqubekelaphambili iqhubekile ukusuka lapho kwaze kwaholela ekwelashweni okuqondiswe kakhulu futhi okuyinkimbinkimbi esinakho namuhla, njengemisebe, ukwelashwa ngamakhemikhali, futhi ngokuvamile, ngokufakwa emithanjeni kanye nangendlela yamaphilisi.

Kulezi zinsuku, enye yezindlela ezivame kakhulu kulabo abanomlando womndeni womdlavuza webele ukuhlola izakhi zofuzo ukuze ubone ukuthi uguquko oluthile lukhona yini kuwe. Lezi zakhi zofuzo umdlavuza webele 1 (BRCA1) kanye nomdlavuza webele 2 (BRCA2), okusiza ngokujwayelekile ukuthi ungatholi imidlavuza ethile. Kodwa-ke, lapho beguquguqukayo okubagcina ekuhlinzweni okujwayelekile, basengozini enkulu yokuthola imidlavuza ethile, okungumdlavuza webele kanye nomdlavuza wesibeletho. Uma ngibheka emuva ohambweni lukamama nalo, ubengomunye wabantu abaneshwa abangazange bakhombise noma yiluphi ushintsho ekuhlolweni kwakhe kofuzo, okwakubuhlungu ngokwazi ukuthi zazingekho izimpawu zokuthi yini eyamenza wangenwa wumdlavuza webele nowesibeletho. . Nokho, ngandlela-thile, waba nethemba, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokuthi kwakusho ukuthi mina nomfowethu sasisengozini encane yokuzithwala ngokwethu ukuguquka kwezakhi zofuzo.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungowesilisa noma ungowesifazane, kubalulekile ukuqaphela izingozi ezibangelwa umdlavuza webele, futhi iseluleko sokuqala siwukuba ungeqi ukuhlolwa; uma kukhona okungalungile, khuluma nodokotela wakho ngakho. Ucwaningo lomdlavuza luhlala lushintsha, kodwa kufanelekile ukukhumbula ukuthi senze inqubekelaphambili ngesikhathi esifushane uma kuqhathaniswa. Umdlavuza wamabele kungenzeka ukuthi uthinte abaningi bethu ngokuqondile ngokuxilonga, ukutholwa kwelungu lomndeni, abanye esibathandayo, noma abangani. Into engisizayo uma ngicabanga ngomdlavuza webele wukuthi kuhlezi kukhona okunethemba ngakho. Ucwaningo selwenze inqubekela phambili enkulu lapho lukhona manje. Ngeke ihambe yodwa. Ngenhlanhla, siphila esikhathini sezingqondo ezihlakaniphile nentuthuko yezobuchwepheshe evumela ucwaningo ukuthi lwenze izinyathelo ezibalulekile, njengoba ngokuvamile kuyizinhlelo ezixhaswa umphakathi. Cabangela ukuthola imbangela ehambisana nawe onganikela ngayo.

Umama wayehlale ebungaza ukuba nomdlavuza webele. Nakuba umdlavuza wakhe wesibeletho kwakungesinye ayengakwazi ukusinqoba, ngisakhetha ukumbona ngaleyo ndlela. Ngemva nje kokuba ngineminyaka engu-18, ngathola i-tattoo esihlakaleni sami ukuze ngijabulele ukunqoba kwakhe, futhi ngenkathi engasekho, ngisakhetha ukubheka le tattoo futhi ngibungaze isikhathi esengeziwe esinaso sokwenza izinkumbulo futhi ngiqinisekise ukuthi ngihlonipha umuntu amkhumbulayo. kwaba.
