Kulimbana ndi khansa yosatha

Nthawi zina khansa sichitha kuchiritsidwa kwathunthu. Izi zikutanthauza kuti palibe njira yothetsera khansayo kwathunthu, komabe khansayo mwina singapite patsogolo mwachangu. Khansa zina zimatha kupangidwa koma zimabweranso ndikuzithandizanso bwino.

Mutha kuthana ndi khansa kwa miyezi kapena zaka. Kuchita izi kumafunikira chithandizo chokhazikika kuti chithandizire kuti khansa isapitirirebe motalika kwambiri. Chifukwa chake, chimakhala ngati matenda osachiritsika.

Mitundu ina ya khansa ili kapena imatha kukhala yayitali ndipo sichitha konse:

• Matenda a khansa ya m'magazi
• Mitundu ina ya lymphoma
• Khansara yamchiberekero
• Khansa ya m'mawere

Nthawi zambiri, khansa iyi imafalikira mbali zina za thupi (metastasized). Sangachiritsidwe, koma nthawi zambiri amatha kuwongoleredwa kwakanthawi.

Mukakhala ndi khansa yanthawi yayitali, cholinga chake ndikuyang'anira, osati kuchiza khansa. Izi zikutanthauza kuti chotupacho chisakulire kapena kufalikira kumadera ena. Chithandizo cha khansa yayikulu chimathandizanso kuthana ndi zizindikilo.

Khansa ikamakula, amatchedwa kukhala wokhululukidwa kapena kukhala ndi matenda okhazikika. Wothandizira zaumoyo wanu amayang'anitsitsa khansa kuti ayang'ane kukula kulikonse. Mungafunike kulandira chithandizo nthawi zonse kuti muthane ndi khansa. Izi zimatchedwa chithandizo chamankhwala.

Ngati khansa yanu yayamba kukula kapena kufalikira, mungafunike chithandizo china kuti muchepetse kapena kusiya kukula. Khansara yanu imatha kupitilira ndikukula ndikuchepa. Kapenanso khansa yanu imatha kukula kwa zaka zambiri.

Popeza munthu aliyense ndi khansa iliyonse ndi yosiyana, omwe amakupatsani mwayi sangathe kukuwuzani kutalika kwa khansa yanu.

Chemotherapy (chemo) kapena immunotherapy itha kugwiritsidwa ntchito ngati khansa yayitali. Pali mitundu yambiri ya mankhwala omwe mungasankhe. Ngati mtundu wina sugwira ntchito, kapena wasiya kugwira ntchito, omwe akukuthandizani angaganize zogwiritsa ntchito ina.

Nthawi zina, khansa imatha kulimbana ndi mankhwala onse omwe amavomerezedwa kuti athetse. Izi zikachitika, lankhulani ndi omwe amakupatsani zomwe mungasankhe. Mungafune kuyesa chithandizo china, kulowa nawo mayeso azachipatala, kapena mutha kusankha kusiya mankhwala.

Chithandizo chilichonse chomwe mungalandire, ndikofunikira kutsatira malangizo a omwe amakupatsani omwe angamwe mankhwalawo. Muyenera kupita kwa dokotala kuti mukonzekere monga munakonzera. Ngati muli ndi zovuta, uzani omwe akukuthandizani. Pakhoza kukhala njira zochepetsera zovuta. Osasiya kumwa mankhwala aliwonse osalankhula ndi omwe akukuthandizani.

Palibe malire pazomwe mungapitilize chithandizo cha khansa yayitali. Ndi chisankho chaumwini chomwe muyenera kupanga mothandizidwa ndi omwe amakuthandizani komanso okondedwa anu. Chisankho chanu chimadalira:

• Mtundu wa khansa womwe muli nawo
• Zaka zanu
• Thanzi lanu lonse
• Momwe mumamvera mukalandira chithandizo
• Momwe mankhwalawa amathandizira kuti muchepetse khansa yanu
• Zotsatira zoyipa zomwe mumakhala nazo ndi chithandizo chamankhwala

Ngati mungaganize zosiya mankhwala omwe sakugwiranso ntchito, mutha kupezabe chisamaliro chochepa kapena chisamaliro cha hospice kuti muthane ndi matenda a khansa. Izi sizithandiza kuthandizira khansa, koma itha kukuthandizani kuti muzimva bwino nthawi yomwe mwatsala nayo.

Sikovuta kukhala ndi khansa yomwe mukudziwa kuti sichitha. Mutha kukhala achisoni, okwiya, kapena amantha. Malangizo awa angakuthandizeni kuthana ndi izi:

• Chitani zinthu zomwe mumakonda. Izi zingaphatikizepo kupita kukawona nyimbo kapena zisudzo, kuyenda, kapena kuwedza nsomba. Chilichonse chomwe chingakhale, pangani nthawi kuti muchite.
• Sangalalani ndi pano. Yesetsani kuyang'ana kusangalala ndi zomwe zilipo m'malo mongodandaula zamtsogolo. Yambirani pazinthu zazing'ono zomwe zimakusangalatsani tsiku lililonse, monga kucheza ndi banja, kuwerenga buku labwino, kapena kuyenda kuthengo.
• Nenani zakukhosi kwanu. Kuuza ena zakukhosi kwanu kungakuthandizeni kuti mukhale bwino. Mutha kuyankhula ndi wachibale wapamtima kapena bwenzi, kulowa nawo gulu lothandizira, kapena kukumana ndi mlangizi kapena m'busa.
• Siyani nkhawa. Kumva kuda nkhawa ndikwabwinobwino, koma yesetsani kuti malingaliro awa asakulamulireni. Vomerezani mantha awa ndikuyesera kuwasiya.
