Ndimakumbukira nthawiyo ngati tsiku. Zinali zaka 11 zapitazo, ndipo ndinali ku New York kukonzekera kupita kuphwando. Mwadzidzidzi, boti lamagetsi la ululu linandidutsa. Zinayambira pamwamba pamutu panga ndikutsikira thupi langa lonse. Zinali zosiyana ndi chilichonse chomwe ndidakumana nacho. Zinangotenga pafupifupi masekondi asanu kapena asanu ndi limodzi, koma zidandichotsa mpweya. Ndinatsala pang'ono kufa. Chomwe chinatsala chinali kupweteka pang'ono chabe m'munsi mwanga kumbali imodzi, pafupifupi kukula kwa mpira wa tennis.

Mofulumira sabata limodzi ndipo ndidapezeka ku ofesi ya adotolo, ndikuganiza kuti ndiyenera kuti ndidatenga matenda kapena ndidakoka minofu ndikamachita masewera olimbitsa thupi. Ndakhala wokangalika kuyambira ndili ndi zaka 20. Ndimagwira ntchito masiku asanu kapena asanu ndi limodzi pa sabata. Ndili ndi zakudya zopatsa thanzi. Sindingadye masamba obiriwira okwanira. Sindinasutepo. Khansara inali chinthu chomaliza m'maganizo mwanga.

Koma maulendo ambirimbiri a madokotala ndi kuwunika thupi lonse pambuyo pake, anandipeza ndi kansa ya m’pancreatic—kansa imene 9 peresenti yokha ya odwala amakhala ndi moyo zaka zoposa zisanu.

Nditakhala pamenepo, nditaimba foni yoopsa kwambiri pamoyo wanga, ndinaganiza kuti ndangolandira chilango cha imfa. Koma ndinakhalabe ndi maganizo abwino ndipo ndinakana kusiya kotheratu.

Patangopita masiku ochepa, ndinayamba kumwa mankhwala am'kamwa, koma ndinalowa mu ER patatha mwezi umodzi nditafika pakhosi langa la ndulu. Ndili mkati mochita opaleshoni ya chotupa changa cha ndulu, madotolo adandilimbikitsa kuti ndipite ku Opipple-opareshoni yovuta ya kapamba ndi 21% yazaka zisanu zapulumuka.

Ndinapulumuka koma nthawi yomweyo ndinamwa mankhwala osokoneza bongo a chemo omwe ndimayenera kusintha nditayamba kumwa mankhwalawa. Ndinali wodwala kwambiri moti ndinkaletsedwa kuchita chilichonse - makamaka mtundu uliwonse wa masewera olimbitsa thupi. Ndipo koposa zonse, ndidaphonya kukhala wokangalika.

Chifukwa chake ndidachita ndi zomwe ndinali nazo ndikudzikakamiza kutuluka pakama pachipatala kangapo pamasana pamakina ogwirizana ndi ine ndi onse. Ndidadzipeza ndikutuluka pansi pachipatala kasanu patsiku, mothandizidwa ndi manesi, inde. Imeneyi inali njira yanga yakumverera wamoyo pomwe ndinali pafupi kufa.

Zaka zitatu zotsatira zinali zochedwa kwambiri m'moyo wanga, komabe ndinali ndikugwiritsabe chiyembekezo choti ndimenya matendawa. M’malo mwake, ndinauzidwa kuti chithandizo chimene ndinali kulandira sichinalinso chothandiza ndipo ndinangotsala ndi miyezi itatu kapena isanu ndi umodzi yokha kuti ndikhale ndi moyo.

Mukamva zinthu ngati zimenezo, zimakhala zovuta kukhulupirira. Chifukwa chake ndidafunsanso dokotala wina kuti andifunsenso. Adalimbikitsa kuyesera mankhwala atsopanowa (Rocephin) kawiri patsiku kwa maola awiri m'mawa ndi maola awiri usiku masiku 30.

Ngakhale ndinali wofunitsitsa kuyesa chilichonse pakadali pano, chinthu chomaliza chomwe ndidafuna ndikukakhala mchipatala maola anayi patsiku, makamaka ndikadangotsala ndi miyezi ingapo kuti ndikhale ndi moyo. Ndinkafuna kuthera nthawi yanga yomaliza padziko lapansi ndikuchita zinthu zomwe ndimakonda: kukhala panja, kupuma mpweya wabwino, kukwera njinga m'mapiri, kuyenda pamaulendo ndi anzanga apamtima-ndipo sindinathe kuchita izi ngati Tsiku lililonse ndinkakhala mchipatala chodandaula chozizira.

Chifukwa chake ndidafunsa ngati ndingaphunzire kuyang'anira mankhwala kunyumba popanda kulepheretsa ogwira ntchito. Ndinadabwa kuti dokotala ananena kuti palibe amene anamufunsapo zimenezo. Koma tidapanga kuti zichitike.

Nditangoyamba kumwa mankhwalawo, ndinayamba kumva bwino. Ndinakhalanso ndi chilakolako chofuna kudya koyamba m'zaka ndikuyamba kupezanso mphamvu. Nditangomva kuti ndikwanira, ndimayenda mozungulira chipikacho ndipo pamapeto pake ndinayamba kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi opepuka kwambiri. Kukhala panja m'chilengedwe komanso kutentha kwa dzuwa ndikukhala pagulu la anthu kunandipangitsa kumva bwino. Choncho ndinayesetsa kuchita zonse zimene ndikanatha poika thanzi langa pamalo oyamba.

Patatha milungu itatu, ndinali woti ndikalandire chithandizo chomaliza. M’malo mongokhala panyumba, ndinaimbira foni mwamuna wanga n’kumuuza kuti ndikupita kukalandira chithandizochi pokwera njinga ku Colorado.

Patatha pafupifupi ola limodzi ndi theka, ndidadzuka, ndidagwiritsa ntchito kachasu pang'ono ndikumwa ma syringe awiri omaliza azamalonda kuti ndikwaniritse njira yoposa 9,800 mlengalenga. Sindinasamale ngakhale kuti ndimawoneka ngati munthu wadazi akuwombera m'mbali mwa mseu. Ndinkaona ngati kunali koyenera chifukwa ndinali kusamala komanso kuchita zinthu mwanzeru ndikukhala moyo wanga-chinthu chomwe ndakhala ndikuchita pa nthawi yonse ya nkhondo yanga ndi khansa. Sindinataye mtima, ndipo ndinayesetsa kukhala moyo wanga monga momwe ndingathere. (Zokhudzana: Amayi Akutembenukira Ku Zolimbitsa Thupi Kuti Athandizenso Kubwezeretsa Matupi Awo Atatha Khansa)

Miyezi isanu ndi umodzi pambuyo pake, ndinabwereranso kukatenga zolembera zanga kuti ndidziwe komwe ndinali pa sikelo ya khansa. Zotsatira zake zitatha, oncologist wanga adati, "Sindikunena izi pafupipafupi, koma ndikukhulupirira kuti mwachiritsidwa."

Ngakhale kuti amanena kuti pali mwayi wokwana 80 peresenti kuti ubwererenso, ndimasankha kuti ndisakhale moyo woterowo. M’malo mwake, ndimadziona kuti ndine wodalitsidwa kwambiri, woyamikira chilichonse. Ndipo koposa zonse, ndimakumbatira moyo wanga ngati kuti sindinakhalepo ndi khansa.

Chimaliziro

Madokotala anga anandiuza kuti chimodzi mwa zifukwa zazikulu zomwe ulendo wanga unali wopambana chinali chakuti ndinali ndi mawonekedwe osaneneka. Inde, kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi sichinthu choyamba chomwe chimabwera m'maganizo mwanu mukalandira matenda a khansa, koma kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi mukadwala kumatha kuchita zodabwitsa kuti mukhale ndi thupi komanso malingaliro athanzi. Ngati pali chotengedwa kuchokera munkhani yanga, ndi kuti.

Palinso mlandu wokhudza mmene mumachitira zinthu mukakumana ndi mavuto. Masiku ano, ndili ndi maganizo akuti 10 peresenti ya moyo ndi zimene zimandichitikira ndiponso 90 peresenti ya mmene ndimachitira ndi moyowo. Tonse tili ndi mwayi wosankha kutengera malingaliro omwe tikufuna lero komanso tsiku lililonse. Osati anthu ambiri omwe amakhala ndi mwayi wodziwa mozama momwe anthu amakukondani komanso kukusangalatsani mukakhala ndi moyo, koma ndi mphatso yomwe ndimalandira tsiku lililonse, ndipo sindingagulitse dziko.
