Umhlahlandlela wokuhlolwa komtholampilo

Uma unomdlavuza, ukuvivinywa komtholampilo kungaba yindlela ongayikhetha. Isivivinyo somtholampilo yisifundo esisebenzisa abantu abavuma ukubamba iqhaza ezivivinyweni noma ekwelashweni okusha. Ukuhlolwa kwemitholampilo kusiza abacwaningi bazi ukuthi ngabe ukwelashwa okusha kusebenza kahle futhi kuphephile yini. Izilingo zitholakalela umdlavuza omningi nazo zonke izigaba zomdlavuza, hhayi nje umdlavuza osuthuthukile.

Uma ujoyina isilingo, ungathola ukwelashwa okungakusiza. Futhi, uzosiza abanye ukuthi bafunde kabanzi ngomdlavuza wakho kanye nokuhlolwa okusha noma izindlela zokwelashwa. Kunezinto eziningi okufanele uzicabangele ngaphambi kokujoyina isilingo. Funda ukuthi kungani ungafuna ukubhalisa esivivinyweni somtholampilo nokuthi ungayithola kuphi.

Ukuhlolwa komtholampilo kubheka izindlela zokwenza lokhu:

• Vimbela umdlavuza
• Ukuhlolwa noma ukuhlolwa komdlavuza
• Phatha noma uphathe umdlavuza
• Nciphisa izimpawu noma imiphumela emibi yomdlavuza noma ukwelashwa komdlavuza

Isivivinyo somtholampilo sizoqasha abantu abaningi ukuthi babambe iqhaza. Ngesikhathi kwenziwa ucwaningo, iqembu ngalinye labantu lizothola isivivinyo noma ukwelashwa okwehlukile. Abanye bazothola ukuthi ukwelashwa okusha kuhlolwe. Abanye bazothola ukwelashwa okujwayelekile. Abaphenyi bazoqoqa imiphumela ukuze babone ukuthi yini okusebenza kahle kakhulu.

Imithi yamanje yomdlavuza, izivivinyo, kanye nokwelashwa okusetshenziswa abahlinzeki abaningi bezokunakekelwa kwezempilo kuhlolwe ngezilingo zomtholampilo.

Isinqumo sokujoyina isivivinyo somtholampilo sesomuntu siqu. Kuyisinqumo okufanele usenze ngokuya ngamanani akho, izinhloso zakho, kanye nokulindela kwakho. Futhi, kunezinzuzo nezingozi lapho ujoyina isilingo.

Ezinye izinzuzo zifaka:

• Ungathola ukwelashwa okusha okungakatholakali kwabanye abantu.
• Ungathola ukwelashwa okungcono kunalokho okutholakalayo njengamanje.
• Uzothola ukunakwa nokuqapha okuseduze ngabahlinzeki bakho.
• Uzosiza abacwaningi ukuqonda umdlavuza wakho futhi ufunde izindlela ezingcono zokusiza abanye abantu abanomdlavuza ofanayo.

Ezinye zezingozi ezingaba khona zifaka:

• Ungase ube nemiphumela engemihle.
• Ukwelashwa okusha kungenzeka kungakusebenzeli.
• Ukwelashwa okusha kungenzeka kungabi kuhle njengokwelashwa okujwayelekile.
• Ungadinga ukuvakashelwa okuningi kwamahhovisi nokuhlolwa okwengeziwe.
• Umshwalense wakho awukwazi ukukhokhela zonke izindleko zakho esivivinyweni somtholampilo.

Kunemithetho kahulumeni eqinile yokuvikela ukuphepha kwakho ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa komtholampilo. Imihlahlandlela yezokuphepha kuyavunyelwana ngayo ngaphambi kokuqala kocwaningo. Le mihlahlandlela ibuyekezwa ngochwepheshe bezempilo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ucwaningo lususelwa kusayensi enhle futhi nobungozi buphansi. Ukuhlolwa komtholampilo nakho kuyabhekwa phakathi naso sonke isifundo.

Ngaphambi kokujoyina isivivinyo somtholampilo, uzofunda ngemihlahlandlela yezokuphepha, ukuthi yini elindeleke kuwe, nokuthi isifundo sizothatha isikhathi esingakanani. Uzocelwa ukuthi usayine ifomu lokuvuma uthi uyaqonda futhi uyavumelana nendlela isifundo esizokwenziwa ngayo kanye nemiphumela engemihle engaba khona.

Ngaphambi kokujoyina isilingo, qiniseka ukuthi ubheka ukuthi yiziphi izindleko ezikhokhelwayo. Izindleko zokunakekelwa komdlavuza okuvamile zivame ukumbozwa umshuwalense wezempilo. Kufanele ubuyekeze inqubomgomo yakho bese uthinta uhlelo lwakho lwezempilo ukuze uqiniseke. Imvamisa, uhlelo lwakho lwezempilo luzobhekela ukuvakashelwa okuvamile kwamahhovisi kanye nezeluleko, kanye nokuhlolwa okwenziwe ukuqapha impilo yakho.

Izindleko zocwaningo, njengomuthi wokufunda, noma ukuvakasha okwengeziwe noma izivivinyo, kungadinga ukumbozwa ngumxhasi ocwaningayo. Futhi khumbula ukuthi ukuvakashelwa okwengeziwe nokuhlolwa kungasho izindleko ezengeziwe kuwe ngesikhathi sokulahleka komsebenzi kanye nokunakekelwa kwezinsuku noma izindleko zokuhamba.

Isifundo ngasinye somtholampilo sinemihlahlandlela yokuthi ngubani ongajoyina. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi inqubo yokufaneleka. Le mihlahlandlela isuselwa kwimibuzo abacwaningi abazama ukuyiphendula. Izifundo zivame ukuzama ukufaka abantu abanezinto ezithile ezifanayo. Lokhu kungenza kube lula ukuqonda imiphumela. Ngakho-ke ungakwazi ukujoyina kuphela uma unomdlavuza esigabeni esithile, umdala noma umncane kuneminyaka ethile, futhi awunazo ezinye izinkinga zempilo.

Uma ufanelekile, ungafaka isicelo sokuba sesivivinyweni somtholampilo. Uma wamukelwa, uba yisisebenzi sokuzithandela. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ungayeka noma kunini. Kepha uma uzizwa ufuna ukuyeka, qiniseka ukuthi ukhuluma ngakho nomhlinzeki wakho kuqala.

Izilingo zenziwa ezindaweni eziningi, njenge:

• Izikhungo zomdlavuza
• Izibhedlela zendawo
• Amahhovisi eqembu lezokwelapha
• Imitholampilo yomphakathi

Ungathola izivivinyo zokwelashwa ezibhalwe kuwebhusayithi yeNational Cancer Institute (NCI) - www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials. Kuyingxenye yeNational Institutes of Health, i-ejensi yocwaningo lukahulumeni wase-United States. Izivivinyo eziningi zokwelashwa eziqhutshwa ezweni lonke zixhaswe yi-NCI.

Uma unentshisekelo yokujoyina isilingo somtholampilo, khuluma nomhlinzeki wakho. Buza ukuthi ngabe kunesilingo endaweni yakho esihlobene nomdlavuza wakho. Umhlinzeki wakho angakusiza uqonde uhlobo lokunakekelwa ozoluthola nokuthi isilingo sizoshintsha noma sengeze kanjani ekunakekelweni kwakho. Ungaphinda futhi ubheke zonke izingozi nezinzuzo ukuze unqume ukuthi ukujoyina isilingo kungukuhamba okuhle kuwe.
