Kusho ukuthini ukuxolelwa komdlavuza?

Ukuxolelwa komdlavuza kulapho izimpawu nezimpawu zomdlavuza zehlile noma zingatholakali.

Emdlavuzeni ohlobene negazi njenge-leukemia, lokhu kusho ukuthi uzoba nokwehla kwenani lamaseli womdlavuza. Ngezicubu eziqinile, lokho kusho ukuthi usayizi wesimila wehlile. Ukwehla kufanele kuhlale okungenani inyanga eyodwa ukuze kuthathwe njengokuxolelwa.

Kunezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zokuxolelwa:

• Ngokwengxenye. Ukwehliswa okungenani kwamaphesenti angama-50 ngosayizi olinganiselayo wesisu noma amaseli womdlavuza
• Qedela. Bonke ubufakazi obubonakalayo bomdlavuza abusekho.
• Okuzenzakalelayo. Lapho umdlavuza ungena ekuxolelweni ngaphandle kokwelashwa okubhekwa njengokwenele kokunye okuholela ekuxolelweni. Lokhu kuvame ukwenzeka ngemuva komkhuhlane noma ukutheleleka, futhi akuvamile.

Ukuthethelelwa akulona ikhambi, futhi akusho ukuthi awunawo umdlavuza ngokuphelele. Ngisho nasekuxolelweni okuphelele, kusengaba khona amangqamuzana omdlavuza emzimbeni wakho, futhi la angaqala ukukhula futhi.

Ukuthethelelwa kunqunywa kanjani?

Ukuxolelwa komdlavuza kunqunywa ukuhlolwa kwegazi, ukuhlolwa kwe-imaging, noma i-biopsy, kuya ngohlobo lomdlavuza. Ngesikhathi sokwelashwa, umdlavuza wakho uzobhekwa kakhulu ukuze udokotela wakho akwazi ukubona noma yikuphi ukwehla kwezimpawu zomdlavuza.Lokhu kuncishiswa kufanele kuhlale okungenani inyanga ukuze umdlavuza wakho ubhekwe njengokuxolelwa.

Kungani ungadinga ukwelashwa ngenkathi uxolelwe

Ngoba kusenamaseli omdlavuza emzimbeni wakho noma ngabe usethethelelweni, ungahle ube nokwelashwa ngesikhathi sokuxolelwa. Lokhu kunciphisa ubungozi bokuthi amangqamuzana omdlavuza asele azoqala ukukhula futhi.

Noma ngabe unokwelashwa noma cha ngesikhathi sokuxolelwa, uzobhekwa eduze ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi umdlavuza wakho awusebenzi futhi.

Uhlobo lokwelashwa oluvame kakhulu ngesikhathi sokuxolelwa yi-chemotherapy yesondlo. Le chemo enikezwa njalo ukunqanda umdlavuza ukuthi ungasakazeki.

Ukwelashwa kwesondlo akufanele kukwenze uzizwe ubi kakhulu. Uma uthola ukuthi imiphumela emibi iqala ukuba mikhulu kuwe, khuluma nodokotela wakho. Bangakususa ekwelashweni kwesondlo.

Ukwelashwa kwesondlo nakho kungasebenza kancane ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, lapho kwenzeka udokotela wakho engamisa ukwelashwa ukusiza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi umdlavuza wakho awumelani ne-chemo.

Umbono wabantu abathethelelwe

Kwabanye abantu, ukuxolelwa umdlavuza kungahlala impilo yonke. Abanye bangase babuye nomdlavuza wabo, obizwa ngokuthi ukuphindeka.

• Okwasendaweni. Umdlavuza ubuyela endaweni owawutholakale kuyo ekuqaleni.
• Okwesifunda. Umdlavuza ubuyela kuma-lymph node nezicubu eziseduze nendawo yokuqala yomdlavuza.
• Kude. Umdlavuza ubuya kwezinye izindawo emzimbeni wonke (metastasized).

Ithuba lokuphindeka lincike ezintweni eziningi, kufaka phakathi uhlobo lomdlavuza obukade unawo, umdlavuza utholakale kusiphi isigaba, nempilo yakho yonke.

Ayikho indlela eyodwa yokusho ngokuqinisekile ukuthi umdlavuza wakho uzobuya yini. Kodwa-ke, umdlavuza owatholwa ngezigaba zakamuva noma umdlavuza ngokubandakanyeka kwe-lymph node kungenzeka ukuthi uphinde ubuye.

Ukuhlala uphilile kuyindlela engcono yokunciphisa ubungozi bokuphindeka noma umdlavuza wesibili. Lokhu kusho:

• ukugcina isisindo esinempilo
• ukudla ukudla okunempilo, ngezithelo eziningi, imifino, nezinhlamvu ezigcwele
• ukuhlala usebenza, ngangokunokwenzeka
• ukuyeka ukubhema, uma ubhema
• ukuphuza kuphela ngokulinganisela; lokhu kusho ukuphuza okungaphezu kwesisodwa ngosuku kwabesifazane futhi hhayi iziphuzo ezingaphezu kwezimbili ngosuku kwabesilisa.
• ukunakekela impilo yakho yengqondo, noma ngabe kusinika isikhathi sezinto zokuzilibazisa ozijabulelayo noma ujoyine iqembu elisekela umdlavuza

Umbono ubuye uncike kohlobo lomdlavuza. Izibalo ezivame kakhulu ozozibona yiminyaka emihlanu noma engu-10 izinga lokusinda, okuyiphesenti labantu abanalolo hlobo lomdlavuza abasaphila eminyakeni emihlanu noma eyishumi ngemuva kokuxilongwa.

A isilinganiso sokusinda esihlobene uqhathanisa abantu abanohlobo olufanayo nesigaba somdlavuza nabantu besibalo sonke. Uma isilinganiso seminyaka engu-5 sokusinda komdlavuza othile singamaphesenti angama-20, kusho ukuthi labo abanalo mdlavuza cishe bangamaphesenti angama-20 njengabantu abangenawo lowo mdlavuza abaphila iminyaka emihlanu ngemuva kokutholakala.

Lezi zibalo azinaki ukuthi ngabe umuntu uyathethelelwa yini noma usaqhubeka nokwelashwa, ngakho-ke akufani ncamashi nokuthi usekuxolelweni. Kodwa njengoba ukuthethelelwa kungasho ukuthi usuphulukisiwe, lezi zibalo zingakunika umbono wokubukwa kwalolo hlobo lomdlavuza.

Umbono wezinhlobo ezinhlanu ezivame kakhulu zomdlavuza yile:

• Umdlavuza wamangqamuzana ongewona omncane: Izinga lokusinda elihlobene neminyaka emihlanu kuzo zonke izigaba, ngokusho kwe-American Cancer Society, lingamaphesenti angama-23. Izinga lokusinda elilinganisiwe lingamaphesenti angama-60 womdlavuza wamaphaphu wendawo kanye namaphesenti ayisithupha womdlavuza wamaphaphu owawusetshenziswa ngesikhathi sokuxilongwa.
• Umdlavuza webele: Izinga lokusinda elihlobene neminyaka emihlanu lingamaphesenti angama-90 kanti izinga lokusinda leminyaka eli-10 lingamaphesenti angama-83. Izinga lokusinda liphansi uma umdlavuza utholakala ngezigaba zakamuva noma uma kukhona ukubandakanyeka kwe-lymph node.
• Umdlavuza ogqamile: Izinga lokusinda leminyaka emihlanu lingamaphesenti angama-65. Izinga lomdlavuza we-colorectal wendawo lingamaphesenti angama-90, amaphesenti angama-71 uma umdlavuza usakazeka ezicutshini ezizungezile noma ama-lymph node, namaphesenti ayi-14 uma umdlavuza usakazekela ezingxenyeni ezikude zomzimba.
• Umdlavuza wendlala yesinye: Kwabesilisa abanomdlavuza wendawo noma owesifunda, isilinganiso seminyaka emihlanu sokusinda cishe singamaphesenti ayi-100 kanti isilinganiso seminyaka eyishumi sokusinda singamaphesenti angama-98. Izinga lokusinda leminyaka engu-5 uma umdlavuza wendlala yabesilisa ususwe ngesikhathi sokuxilongwa ngamaphesenti angama-30.
• Umdlavuza wesisu: Izinga lokusinda elihlobene neminyaka emihlanu kuzo zonke izigaba lingamaphesenti angama-31. Leli zinga lingamaphesenti angama-68 omdlavuza wesisu owenziwe endaweni ethile kanye namaphesenti ama-5 womdlavuza wesisu owawugciniwe ngesikhathi sokuxilongwa.

Akunandaba ukuthi unhloboni yomdlavuza onayo, ukuthola kusenesikhathi ukuphindaphinda kubaluleke kakhulu. Uma kutholakala kusenesikhathi, ukuphindeka kwendawo kungalapheka. Ukuphindaphinda okude akuvamile ukuthi kwelashwe, kepha ukutholwa kusenesikhathi kungasiza ukukuvimba ukuthi kungasabalali ngokuqhubekayo.

Uma ukhululekile, kufanele uhlolwe njalo udokotela ukuthola izimpawu ezintsha zomdlavuza.

Ukuthatha

Ukuthethelelwa komdlavuza akusho ukuthi umdlavuza wakho uyelapheka, kepha kuyingqophamlando ebalulekile. Kwezinye izimo, umdlavuza wakho kungenzeka ungaphinde ubuye. Kokunye, kungaphinde kwenzeke. Ngisho nasekuxolelweni, kubalulekile ukulandela yonke imiyalelo kadokotela wakho futhi ubheke noma yiziphi izimpawu zomdlavuza ezingaba khona eduze.
