U-Ashley Luther, owaziwa kakhulu ngelika-Elly Mayday, ushone eneminyaka engu-30 ngemva kokulwa nomdlavuza wesibeletho.

Umndeni wakhe umemezele lezi zindaba ku-Instagram ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule kokuthunyelwe okubuhlungu.

"U-Ashley wayeyintombazane yasemakhaya enenhliziyo ethanda impilo engenakuphikwa," babhala kulo mbhalo. "Ubenephupho lokuba nomthelela ezimpilweni zabantu. Lokhu wakufeza ngokusungula i-Elly Mayday eyamvumela ukuthi axhumane nani nonke. Ukwesekwa kwakhe okuqhubekayo nothando lwabalandeli bakhe bekubambe indawo ekhethekile enhliziyweni yakhe."

Ngenkathi uLuther wayaziwa njengesishoshovu sokulwela umzimba, leyo ndima yokuba nethonya yadlulela ngalé kokuzicabangela. Uvulelekile ukuthi odokotela bazishaya indiva kanjani izimpawu zakhe iminyaka ngaphambi kokumthola ngokusemthethweni ukuthi unomdlavuza, ngakho-ke waqala ngamandla ukukhuthaza impilo yabesifazane. Wathi wayenomuzwa wokuthi ukube othile wayemlalela, ngabe usewubambe umdlavuza wakhe kusenesikhathi.

Uhambo lukaLuther luqale ngonyaka we-2013 ngenkathi eya egumbini labezimo eziphuthumayo ngemuva kokuzwa ubuhlungu obubabazekayo emhlane ongezansi. Odokotela babuchitha ubuhlungu bakhe, bethi udinga ukwehlisa isisindo futhi konke kuzolunga, ngokusho kuka Abantu. (Ubuwazi ukuthi odokotela besifazane bangcono kunamadokhumenti wabesilisa?)

"Udokotela ungitshele ukuthi ngisebenze umnyombo wami," esho Abantu ngo-2015. "Silulazekile ngokuba ngabancane, ngokuba ngabesifazane. Ngaqala ukubona ukuthi akekho ozongisiza ngaphandle kokuthi ngizisize."

Ukuhamba kathathu kwe-ER kamuva, uLuther utshela umag ukuthi wayazi ukuthi kukhona okungahambi kahle, ngakho-ke wacela odokotela bakhe ukuthi benze izivivinyo eziningi. Eminyakeni emithathu ngemva kohambo lwakhe lokuqala lokuya esibhedlela, i-CT scan yembula ukuthi wayene-cyst-ovarian-futhi ngemva kokuhlolwa kwe-biopsy, kwatholakala ngokusemthethweni ukuthi unomdlavuza we-ovarian wesigaba sesi-3.

ULuther uqhubeke nokumodela ngenkathi elwa nomdlavuza wesibeletho futhi waze wavela nasemikhankasweni ngemuva kokulahlekelwa yizinwele ngenxa yamakhemikhali futhi wahlinzwa okwashiya umzimba wakhe unezibazi.

Ngisho nangaphambi kokuba axilongwe, uLuther wakwenza kwaba inselele ukubekela inselelo imibono eyeqisayo. Ubhekwe njengenye yemodeli yokuqala ejikijelwa ukuthi ibonakale futhi waqala umsebenzi ophumelelayo yize etshelwe ukuthi ngeke abe yimodeli ephindwayo ngenxa yobukhulu nobude bakhe. Usebenzise lolo lwazi ukukhuthaza abesifazane ukuthi bamukele imizimba yabo njengoba benjalo futhi bangabanaki abazondayo.

ULuther wahlinzwa kaningana futhi wahluthwa i-chemo. Futhi okwesikhathi esithile, umdlavuza wakhe wawubonakala usupholile. Kodwa ngo-2017, yabuya futhi ngemva kwenye impi ende, enzima, ekugcineni yathatha impilo yakhe.

Ngeshwa, okuhlangenwe nakho kukaLuther akusona isigameko sokuzenzela nje. Kukhona, vele, izinkolelo-ze zamakhulu eminyaka mayelana nabesifazane "abanamahloni" noma "abamangalisayo" uma kuziwa ebuhlungu - kodwa eminye yaleyo mibono eyiphutha isasebenza nanamuhla, ngisho nasezibhedlela nasemitholampilo.

Isibonelo: Ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi abesifazane banamathuba amaningi okuthi batshelwe ukuthi ubuhlungu babo bungokwengqondo, noma bathonywe uhlobo oluthile lwenkinga engokomzwelo engaphansi. Akukhona lokho kuphela, kodwa bobabili odokotela nabahlengikazi banikeza imishanguzo yezinhlungu ezincane kwabesifazane kunabesilisa ngemva kokuhlinzwa, nakuba abesifazane bebika amazinga obuhlungu avamile futhi obunzima.

Muva nje, umlingisi uSelma Blair, one-multiple sclerosis (MS), uthe odokotela abazange bazithathele phezulu izimpawu zakhe iminyaka eyaholela ekuxilongeni kwakhe. Ukhale izinyembezi zenjabulo lapho begcina bemtshele ukuthi kwenzenjani ngaye.

Yingakho bekubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi uLuther akhuthaze abesifazane ukuthi babe ngabameli bempilo yabo futhi bakhulume uma bazi ukuthi kukhona okungahambi kahle ngemizimba yabo.

Embhalweni wakhe wokugcina ngaphambi kokushona kwakhe, uthi "ubelokhu ebheke lelo thuba lokusiza abantu," futhi kwavela ukuthi ithuba lakhe lokwenza lokho kwaba ukuhlanganyela impi yakhe yomdlavuza kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho okuholele kukho.

"Ukukhetha kwami ​​ukuba sesidlangalaleni futhi ngizame ukwabelana ngamandla ami kwakuseduze," ebhala. "Ukusiza yindlela engithethelela ngayo ukuthi isikhathi sami lapha sisetshenziswe kahle. Nginenhlanhla ukuthi ngikwazile ukukuhlanganisa nomsebenzi ojabulisayo wokumodela, ngoba nami lokho kuyimi (hah akumangazi). Ngibonga wonke umuntu ongazisa 'ngenze umehluko, ngezeluleko zami, ukwabelana kwami, izithombe zami kanye nendlela yami evamile yokubhekana nesimo esinzima ngempela."
