Chithunzi Chapawebusayiti cha Ruth Basagoitia

Kupulumuka khansa sichinthu chophweka. Kuchita kamodzi kungakhale chinthu chovuta kwambiri chomwe mudachitapo. Kwa iwo omwe achita kangapo, mukudziwa nokha kuti sizikhala zosavuta. Ndi chifukwa chakuti matenda aliwonse a khansa ndi apadera pamavuto ake.

Ndikudziwa izi chifukwa ndidapulumuka kansa kasanu ndi kawiri, ndipo ndikumenyananso ndi khansa kwanthawi yachisanu ndi chinayi. Ndikudziwa kuti kupulumuka khansa ndizodabwitsa, koma kukhala ndi khansa ndikwabwinoko. Ndipo ndizotheka.

Kuphunzira kukhala moyo uku mukumva ngati mukumwalira ndichinthu chapadera, ndipo ndimadzipereka kuthandiza ena kukwaniritsa. Umu ndi m'mene ndaphunzirira kuti ndikule bwino ndi khansa.

Mawu atatu owopsa aja

Dokotala akanena kuti, “Uli ndi khansa,” dziko limakhala ngati lasintha. Nkhawa imayamba pomwepo. Mutha kudzimva kuti mukuvutika ndi mafunso ngati awa:

• Kodi ndidzafunika chemotherapy?
• Kodi nditaya tsitsi?
• Kodi radiation ipweteka kapena kuwotcha?
• Kodi ndidzafunika kuchitidwa opaleshoni?
• Kodi ndidzathabe kugwira ntchito panthawi yachipatala?
• Kodi ndidzakwanitsa kudzisamalira ndekha ndi banja langa?
• Ndifa?

Ndamva mawu atatu owopsawa nthawi zisanu ndi zinayi. Ndipo ndikuvomereza, ndidadzifunsa mafunso omwewa. Nthawi yoyamba yomwe ndinali ndi mantha kwambiri, sindinali wotsimikiza kuti nditha kuyendetsa bwino kunyumba. Ndinayamba mantha masiku anayi. Koma zitatha izi, ndinaphunzira kuvomera, sindinangopulumuka komanso ndikadwala.

Kodi kupulumuka kwa khansa kumatanthauza chiyani?

Google "ikupulumuka" ndipo mwina mungapeze tanthauzo ili: "Kupitiliza kukhala ndi moyo kapena kukhalapo, makamaka pokumana ndi zovuta."

Kudzera munkhondo zanga za khansa komanso polankhula ndi omwe akhudzidwa ndi khansa, ndazindikira kuti mawuwa amatanthauza zinthu zambiri kwa anthu ambiri. Nditafunsa zomwe zimatanthauza kupulumuka kuchipatala, dokotala wanga adati kupulumuka kwa khansa kumatanthauza:

• Iwe ukadali moyo.
• Mukudutsa muzitsulo kuchokera kuchipatala kupita kuchipatala.
• Muli ndi zosankha zingapo ndikuyembekeza zotsatira zabwino.
• Mukuyesetsa kuti muchiritsidwe.
• Simukuyembekezeredwa kufa.

Poyankhula ndi ankhondo anzanga a khansa nthawi zambiri ndili mchipinda chodikirira, ndidazindikira kuti nthawi zambiri amakhala ndi tanthauzo losiyana la tanthauzo la kupulumuka. Kwa ambiri, zimangotanthauza:

• kudzuka tsiku lililonse
• kukhala wokhoza kudzuka pabedi
• kumaliza ntchito zatsiku ndi tsiku (kutsuka ndi kuvala)
• kudya ndi kumwa osasanza

Ndalankhula ndi mazana a anthu omwe amalandila chithandizo pazaka 40 zapitazi paulendo wanga ndimavuto osiyanasiyana a khansa. Kuopsa kwake ndi mtundu wa khansa pambali, ndazindikira kuti kupulumuka kwanga kudaliranso pazinthu zopitilira matenda omwewo, kuphatikiza:

• mankhwala anga
• ubale wanga ndi dokotala wanga
• ubale wanga ndi ena onse azachipatala
• moyo wanga kunja kwa matenda anga

Anthu ambiri pazaka zambiri akhala akundiuza kuti kupulumuka kumatanthauza kusamwalira. Ambiri adanena kuti sanaganizirepo kuti pali china chilichonse choti angaganizire.

Zakhala zosangalatsa kuti ndikambirane njira zomwe angakule bwino. Zakhala zosangalatsa kwanga kuwathandiza kuwona kuti atha kukhala ndi moyo wopindulitsa. Zakhala zozizwitsa kwenikweni kuwatsimikizira iwo aloledwa kukhala achimwemwe ndi kusangalala pamene akulimbana ndi khansa.

Kukula bwino ndikufa ndi khansa

Ndi oxymoron kukhala ndi moyo mukamwalira. Koma nditatha nkhondo zisanu ndi zitatu zopambana za khansa, ndabwera kuti ndikulonjezeni kuti ndizotheka kuposa momwe mukudziwira. Njira yovuta yomwe ndakulira ndikudwala matenda a khansa ndikudzipereka ku thanzi langa komanso kupewa matenda.

Kwa zaka zambiri, kudziwa thupi langa pamene likumva bwino kwandithandiza kuzindikira nthawi yomwe zinthu sizili bwino. M'malo mozifuna kapena kunyalanyaza zikwangwani za thupi langa kuti zindithandizire, ndimachita.

Sindine hypochondriac, koma ndikudziwa nthawi yoti ndipite kwa dokotala kuti akandiwone. Ndipo mobwerezabwereza, yakhala njira yanga yopindulitsa kwambiri. Mu 2015, nditapita kwa oncologist kukafotokozera zowawa zatsopano ndi zowawa, ndinkaganiza kuti khansa yanga yabwerera.

Awa sanali ululu wamatenda wamba. Ndinadziwa kuti china chake sichili bwino. Dokotala wanga nthawi yomweyo adalamula kuti andipime, zomwe zidatsimikizira kukayikira kwanga.

Matendawa anandipweteka kwambiri chifukwa cha khansa ya m'mawere yomwe inali itafalikira m'mafupa anga. Ndidayamba kuyatsa radiation nthawi yomweyo, kenako chemotherapy. Zinachita chinyengo.

Dokotala wanga anati ndidzafa Khrisimasi isanakwane. Patatha zaka ziwiri, ndikukhalanso ndi thanzi la khansa.

Ngakhale ndinauzidwa kuti matendawa alibe mankhwala, sindinataye chiyembekezo kapena kufuna kumenya nkhondo ndikukhala moyo watanthauzo. Chifukwa chake, ndidayamba kuchita bwino!

Ndipitilizabe kukula

Kukhala ndi cholinga pamoyo kumandithandiza kukhalabe wamoyo komanso wotsimikiza mtima kumenya nkhondo. Ndi chithunzi chokulirapo chomwe chimandipangitsa kuyang'ana pa zovuta. Ndikudziwa kuti ndizotheka kuti aliyense kunja uko akumenya nkhondo yayikulu.

Kwa inu, ndinganene kuti: Pezani kuyitanidwa kwanu. Khalani odzipereka. Dalirani pamakina anu othandizira. Pezani chisangalalo komwe mungathe.

Awa ndi mawu anga omwe amandithandiza kukhala ndi moyo wabwino tsiku lililonse ndikusangalala:

• Ndidzatero pitilizani kulemba mabuku.
• Ndidzatero pitilizani kufunsa alendo osangalatsa pawayilesi yanga.
• Ndidzatero pitilizani kulembera pepala langa.
• Ndidzatero pitilizani kuphunzira zonse zomwe ndingathe panjira za khansa ya m'mawere.
• Ndidzatero kupita kumisonkhano ndi magulu othandizira.
• Ndidzatero thandizani kuphunzitsa osamalira zanga zosowa zanga.
• Ndidzatero chitani chilichonse chomwe ndingathe kuti ndilimbikitse anthu omwe ali ndi khansa.
• Ndidzatero kulangiza omwe amandilankhula kuti ndithandizidwe.
• Ndidzatero pitilizani kuyembekeza kuchiritsidwa.
• Ndidzatero pitilizani kupemphera, ndikulola chikhulupiriro changa kundipitilira.
• Ndidzatero pitilizani kudyetsa moyo wanga.

Ndipo malinga momwe ndingathere, ine ndidzatero pitirizani kukula bwino. Ndi khansa kapena ayi.
