Ithimba lakho lokunakekela umdlavuza

Njengengxenye yohlelo lwakho lokwelashwa komdlavuza, cishe uzosebenza neqembu labahlinzeki bezempilo. Funda ngezinhlobo zabahlinzeki ongasebenza nabo nokuthi benzani.

I-Oncology yinkambu yezokwelapha ehlanganisa ukunakekelwa nokwelashwa komdlavuza. Udokotela osebenza kulo mkhakha ubizwa nge-oncologist. Kunezinhlobo eziningana zama-oncologists. Bangaba neziqu ezincike ekutheni baphatha bani noma ini. Isibonelo, udokotela oncologist welapha umdlavuza ezinganeni. Udokotela we-oncologist we-gynecologic welapha umdlavuza ezithweni zokuzala zabesifazane.

Oncologists futhi bangaba nezihloko ezisuselwa ohlotsheni lwezokwelapha abazisebenzisayo. Lawa ma-oncologists afaka:

• I-oncologist yezokwelapha. Udokotela ohlonza umdlavuza futhi awelaphe esebenzisa umuthi. Le mithi ingafaka i-chemotherapy. Udokotela wakho oyinhloko womdlavuza kungenzeka abe yi-oncologist yezokwelapha.
• I-radiation oncologist. Udokotela osebenzisa imisebe ukwelapha umdlavuza.Imisebe isetshenziselwa ukubulala amangqamuzana omdlavuza, noma ukuwalimaza ukuze angabe esakhula.
• I-oncologist yokuhlinzwa. Udokotela owelapha umdlavuza esebenzisa ukuhlinza. Ukuhlinzwa kungasetshenziselwa ukususa izicubu zomdlavuza emzimbeni.

Amanye amalungu eqembu lakho lokunakekela umdlavuza angafaka okulandelayo:

• Udokotela obulala izinzwa. Udokotela ohlinzeka ngemithi evimbela abantu ekuzweni ubuhlungu. I-Anesthesia isetshenziswa kakhulu ngesikhathi sokuhlinzwa. Lapho uhlinzwa, kukubeka ebuthongweni obukhulu. Ngeke uzwe lutho noma ukhumbule ukuhlinzwa ngemuva kwalokho.
• Umphathi wecala. Umhlinzeki owengamela ukunakekelwa komdlavuza wakho ekuhlonzweni ngokuthola kabusha. Basebenza nawe kanye neqembu lakho lonke lokunakekela ukusiza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi unezinsizakalo zokunakekelwa kwezempilo nezinsiza ozidingayo.
• Umeluleki wezofuzo. Umhlinzeki ongakusiza wenze izinqumo ngomdlavuza wefa (umdlavuza udlulile kuzakhi zakho zofuzo). Umeluleki wezofuzo angakusiza noma amalungu omndeni wakho anqume ukuthi uyafuna yini ukuhlolelwa lezi zinhlobo zomdlavuza. Umeluleki angakusiza futhi ukuthi wenze izinqumo ngokuya ngemiphumela yokuhlolwa.
• Abahlengikazi. Umhlengikazi oneziqu eziphakeme ekuqeqesheni okuthuthukile. Umhlengikazi uzosebenzisana nodokotela bakho bomdlavuza ukuze bakunakekele, emtholampilo, nasesibhedlela.
• Amatilosi eziguli. Umhlinzeki ozosebenza nawe nomndeni wakho ukukusiza ngazo zonke izici zokuthola ukunakekelwa kwezempilo. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukuthola abahlinzeki bokunakekelwa kwezempilo, ukusiza ngezinkinga zomshuwalense, ukusiza ngamaphepha, nokuchaza ukunakekelwa kwakho kwezempilo noma izinketho zokwelashwa. Inhloso ukukusiza unqobe noma yiziphi izithiyo zokuthola ukunakekelwa okuhle kakhulu.
• Usonhlalakahle we-Oncology. Umhlinzeki ongakusiza wena nomndeni wakho nibhekane nezinkinga ezingokomzwelo nezenhlalo. Isisebenzi sezenhlalakahle se-oncology singakuxhumanisa nezinsizakusebenza futhi sikusize nganoma yiziphi izinkinga zomshuwalense. Bangakunikeza nokuqondiswa kokuthi ungabhekana kanjani nomdlavuza nokuthi ungawenza kanjani amalungiselelo mayelana nokwelashwa kwakho.
• Udokotela wezifo zengqondo. Udokotela oxilonga izifo esebenzisa izivivinyo elabhorethri. Bangabheka amasampula ezicubu ngaphansi kwesibonakhulu ukubona ukuthi awanaso yini umdlavuza. Isazi sezifo singathola nokuthi umdlavuza ukusiphi isigaba.
• Isazi semisebe. Udokotela owenza futhi achaze izivivinyo ezinjenge-x-ray, ama-CT scan, nama-MRIs (imagination resonance imaging). I-radiologist isebenzisa lezi zinhlobo zokuhlola ukuxilonga nezifo zesigaba.
• I-dietitian ebhalisiwe (i-RD). Umhlinzeki oyingcweti ekudleni nasekondleni. I-RD ingasiza ekudaleleni ukudla okuzokusiza uhlale uqinile ngenkathi welashwa umdlavuza. Lapho ukwelashwa kwakho komdlavuza sekuphelile, i-RD nayo ingakusiza ukuthi uthole ukudla okuzosiza umzimba wakho ukuba uphole.

Ilungu ngalinye leqembu lakho lokunakekela lidlala indima ebalulekile. Kepha kungaba nzima ukulandela lokho umuntu ngamunye akwenzela khona. Unganqikazi ukubuza umuntu ukuthi wenzani nokuthi uzokusiza kanjani. Lokhu kungakusiza uqonde uhlelo lwakho lokunakekela kangcono futhi uzizwe ulawula imishanguzo yakho kangcono.
