Iningi labantu linezinhloso ezinhle lapho i-Pink October izungeza. Bafuna ukwenza okuthile ukusiza ukwelapha umdlavuza webele - isifo esilinganiselwe ukubangela ukufa kwabantu abangama-40,000 e-United States ngo-2017, nasemhlabeni jikelele. Kodwa-ke, okungaziwa ngabantu abaningi ukuthi ukuthenga amaribhoni abomvana noma ukubhala kabusha imidlalo ye-Facebook akusizi muntu.

Iqiniso liwukuthi, ngenxa yemizamo eyenziwe kule minyaka engama-40 edlule, cishe wonke umuntu waseMelika ongaphezu kweminyaka engu-6 kungenzeka ukuthi useyazi ngomdlavuza webele. Futhi ngeshwa, ukutholwa kokuqala nokuqwashiswa akuyona ikhambi-konke esake sacabanga ukuthi kubuyile ngenkathi kusungulwa iribhoni elibomvana.

Abesifazane abaningi bazotholakala ukuthi banesifo sokuqala somdlavuza webele, bathole ukwelashwa, bese beqhubeka nokubuyela emuva, futhi yilokho okubulala abantu. Kungakho-ke manje njengoba sonke sesazi, kufanele siqale ukugxila emizamweni yethu ekusizeni abantu asebenomdlavuza webele osezingeni eliphezulu. Hhayi nje ukuthenga izikibha ezipinki nokukhumbuza abesifazane ukuthi bahlolwe.

Noma kunjalo, lokho akusho ukuthi azikho izinto ongazenza ongazenza phakathi nenyanga yokuqwashisa ngomdlavuza webele. Eqinisweni, kunezindlela eziningi ongasiza ngazo abantu abaphila nomdlavuza webele (kanye nokusiza labo abasebenza ekwelashweni). Nayi imibono embalwa nje:

1. Ukusekela, hhayi ukuqwashisa

Uma ukhetha isisa senhlangano, qiniseka ukuthi sigxile ekusekelweni kweziguli, hhayi ekuqwashiseni. Ukwesekwa kwesiguli kuza ngezindlela eziningi: amakilasi okwenza izimonyo, amakhadi kagesi, amawigi, amakilasi okuzivocavoca, izincwadi, ngisho nokukhokha ngokuphelele ukwelashwa. Zonke lezi zinto zingasiza ngesikhathi esivivinyayo, ngokomzwelo nangokomzimba.

Izinsizakalo ezinjengeChemo Angels ne-American Cancer Society zigxila ekwesekelweni kweziguli.

2. Nikela ngezinhlelo zokucwaninga

Ucwaningo luyisidingo esibucayi. Emhlabeni jikelele, umdlavuza webele we-metastatic uthola imali engaphansi kakhulu kunomdlavuza webele webanga lokuqala, noma ngabe ukuphela kwendlela yomdlavuza webele ongafa ngayo. Iningi lemali yokusiza iya ocwaningweni oluyisisekelo olunokusebenza okuncane komtholampilo. Ngakho-ke uma ufuna izinhlangano zosizo ozonikela ngazo, kubalulekile ukuthola labo abazama ukuthola ikhambi langempela ezigulini hhayi ukunikela ngezindebe kuphela emcabangweni "wokuqwashisa".

IStandUp2Cancer neThe Breast Cancer Research Foundation yizinhlangano zosizo ezimbili ezinhle kakhulu ezenza lokho nje.

3. Siza umuntu omaziyo onomdlavuza

“Ngazise uma kukhona engingakwenzela khona.” Iningi lethu elinomdlavuza liyizwa leyo nkulumo kaningi… bese singaphinde simbone lowo muntu. Uma siqhubeka nokwelashwa, sidinga usizo ngokwengeziwe. Sidinga izinja zethu ukuhamba, sidinga izingane zethu ukuba zihanjiswe kwenye indawo, sidinga izindlu zethu zokugezela zihlanzwe.

Ngakho-ke uma wazi umuntu onomdlavuza, ungabuzi ukuthi ungasiza kanjani. Batshele ukuthi uhlela kanjani. Ungabeki umthwalo wokucela usizo esigulini somdlavuza.

4. Nikeza izingubo esikhungweni se-chemo

Ubuwazi ukuthi ungenza umehluko empilweni yesiguli esinomdlavuza ngaphandle kokuthi ukhulume naso? Kuwo wonke amadolobha, kukhona odokotela bomdlavuza bomphakathi abazokwamukela iminikelo yezingubo zokulala, izigqoko noma izikhafu. Ngenxa yezinkinga zobumfihlo, ungahle ungakwazi ukukhuluma nabo, kepha ungakhuluma nabasebenzi edeskini elingaphambili ubuze ukuthi ngabe bazimisele ukwamukela izinto.

5. Shayela abantu baye kuma-chemo sessions

Kuneziguli eziningi ezithola i-chemo ezingenabani ongazishayela. Ungashiya amaflaya enikela ngokwenza njalo, noma uthumele emabhodini ezaziso omphakathi ozimisele ukuwasiza. Ungaphinde ushayele usonhlalakahle ukuze uthole ukuthi indingeko inkulu kuphi.

6. Bazise ukuthi bayakhunjulwa

Ngisho nokubhala amakhadi nokuwashiya ezikhungweni ze-chemo noma emawodini ezibhedlela eziguli ezinomdlavuza ngamaholide kungasiza kumuntu obhekene nesikhathi esesabisa kakhulu empilweni yabo.

7. Bhala i-congressman yakho

Kule minyaka eyishumi edlule, i-NIH inciphise imali yocwaningo lomdlavuza, futhi lokho kungahle kwehle ngisho nangaphezulu ngenxa yokuncishiswa kwesabelomali kwe-NIH. Izinguquko emthethweni wezokunakekelwa kwezempilo zidale ukudideka, futhi kuya kuba nzima kubantu abanomdlavuza ukuthola imishanguzo, noma ngabe yi-chemo noma yimithi yokweseka. Imithi yezinhlungu edingekayo manje ibanjiwe (ngisho nasezigulini ezibulalayo) ngoba odokotela besaba "ukubhalwa ngokweqile." Eminye imishanguzo yokulwa nesicanucanu ibiza kakhulu futhi izinkampani zomshuwalense ngeke zikuvumele. Kubantu abaningi, lokhu kungasho ubuhlungu ngaphambi kokuphela kwezimpilo zabo. Sidinga lokho ukushintsha.

8. Lalela iziguli ezinomdlavuza

Khumbula ukuthi uma ukhuluma nesiguli esinomdlavuza, abazizwa njengamaqhawe noma abasindile; abafuni njalo (noma badinge) ukuba nesimo sengqondo esihle. Futhi akukho abakwenzile, kusukela ekudleni ushukela kuya ekudleni ukudla okwenziwe, okwadala umdlavuza wabo.

Uma umuntu ekwethemba ngokwanele ukuthi angakutshela ukuthi unomdlavuza, ungaphenduli ngokubatshela ukuthi uyiqhawe, noma usho ukuthi benze okuthile okungalungile. Mane ubatshele ukuthi uyaxolisa ngokwenzeke kubo, nokuthi ulapha ukuzolalela. Kubalulekile ukuthi ukhulume nabo njengabangani, osebenza nabo, noma abantu obathandayo abakade bekhona. Umdlavuza ungazehlukanisa, kepha ungaba yileso sibalo esiqinisekisayo esibakhumbuza ukuthi akudingeki ngaso sonke isikhathi bazenze abanesibindi.

I-Pink October isiphenduke cishe iholide likazwelonke, ngamaphromoshini abomvana yonke indawo. Kodwa-ke, imali enikelwa yizinkampani kaningi ayiyi lapho idingeka khona kakhulu: ezigulini zomdlavuza we-metastatic. Iziguli ezinomdlavuza ezingalapheki singomama bakho, odadewenu, nogogo bakho, futhi sidinga ukwesekwa kwenu.

U-Ann Silberman uphila nomdlavuza webele wesigaba 4 futhi ungumbhali ka Umdlavuza Webele? Kodwa Dokotela… Ngiyayizonda iPinki!, owabizwa ngokuthi omunye wethu amabhulogi omdlavuza webele we-metastatic amahle kakhulu. Xhuma naye ku Facebook noma Tweet kuye @ButDocIHatePink.
