UMarcia Cross ubelokhu exoxa nomdlavuza wangemva kweminyaka emibili manje, kodwa usasebenzisa ipulatifomu yakhe ukwenza lesi sifo sibe yingozi.

Engxoxweni entsha no Ukubhekana Nomdlavuza umagazini, inkanyezi i-Desperate Housewives ibhekise kokuhlangenwe nakho kwakhe ngomdlavuza wendunu, kusukela kwimiphumela engemihle yokwelashwa ayibekezelela ehlazweni elivame ukuhambisana nalesi simo.

Ngemuva kokuthola ukuxilongwa kwakhe ngo-2017, uCross uthe ukwelashwa kwakhe kuhilela izikhathi ezingama-28 zemisebe kanye namasonto amabili e-chemotherapy. Uchaze imiphumela engemihle ngaleso sikhathi ngokuthi "yinsini."

"Ngizothi ngenkathi ngithola ukwelashwa kokuqala kwe-chemo, ngangicabanga ukuthi ngenza kahle," kusho uCross Ukubhekana Nomdlavuza. Kodwa-ke, "ngokungazelelwe," echaza, waqala ukuthola izilonda zomlomo ezibuhlungu - okuwumphumela ojwayelekile we-chemo nemisebe, ngokusho kweMayo Clinic. (UShannen Doherty ubuye waphumela obala ngokuthi i-chemo ibukeka kanjani ngempela.)

Ngenkathi uCross ekugcineni ethola izindlela zokuphatha le miphumela engemihle, wahluleka ukuzibamba waqaphela ukungabi bikho kokwethembeka - phakathi kwabo bobabili odokotela neziguli ngokufanayo - mayelana nokuthi yini ongayilindela ekwelashweni. “Ngijabule kakhulu ngabantu abebethembekile ngakho ngoba odokotela bayathanda ukukubukela phansi ngoba abafuni udideke,” kusho uCross. Ukubhekana Nomdlavuza. "Kodwa ngifunde kakhulu online, futhi ngisebenzise iwebhusayithi ye-Anal Cancer Foundation."

UCross uthi ulwela ukuba ngomunye walabo abakutshela okunje uma kukhulunywa ngomdlavuza wendunu. Sekuyisikhathi eside, lesi simo sikhishwa inyumbazane, hhayi nje ngenxa yokuthi sibandakanya indunu (ngisho noCross uvumile ukuthi kumthathe isikhathi sakhe ukuzizwa ekhululekile ukusho "indunu" kaningi kangaka), kodwa nangenxa yokuxhumana kwayo nezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi - okungukuthi, i-human papillomavirus (HPV).

I-HPV, engasabalala ngesikhathi socansi lwesitho sangasese sowesifazane, sangemuva, noma somlomo, ibhekele cishe amaphesenti angama-91 awo wonke umdlavuza wezindunu e-US minyaka yonke, okwenza i-STI ibe yingozi kakhulu engozini yomdlavuza wangemuva, ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control and Ukuvimbela (CDC). Ukutheleleka nge-HPV kungaholela futhi kumdlavuza emlonyeni wesibeletho, i-vulva, izitho zangasese, kanye nomphimbo. (Isikhumbuzi: Ngenkathi cishe wonke umdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho ubangelwa yi-HPV, akuyona yonke inhlobo ye-HPV ebangela umdlavuza, umlomo wesibeletho noma okunye.)

Yize engakaze atholakale ene-HPV, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi uCross uthole ukuthi umdlavuza wakhe wendunu "kungenzeka uhlobene" negciwane, ngokusho kwakhe Ukubhekana Nomdlavuza ingxoxo. Akugcinanga lapho, umyeni wakhe, uTom Mahoney, utholwe enomdlavuza womphimbo cishe eminyakeni eyishumi ngaphambi kokuba athole ngomdlavuza wakhe wendunu. Ngokubheka emuva, uCross wachaza, odokotela batshela yena nomyeni wakhe ukuthi womabili umdlavuza wabo "kungenzeka ukuthi ubangelwe" uhlobo olufanayo lwe-HPV.

Ngenhlanhla, i-HPV manje isivinjelwa kakhulu. Imithi yokugoma emithathu ye-HPV njengamanje evunyelwe yi-FDA - Gardasil, Gardasil 9, neCervarix - ivimbela izinhlobo ezimbili zegciwane elisengozini enkulu (i-HPV16 ne-HPV18). Lezi zinhlobo zibanga cishe amaphesenti angama-90 omdlavuza we-anal e-U.S kanye nenqwaba yomdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho, isitho sangasese, nomphimbo, ngokusho kwe-Anal Cancer Foundation.

Kodwa-ke, ngenkathi ungaqala uchungechunge lokugoma lwemithamo emibili useneminyaka eyi-9, kulinganiselwa ukuthi kusukela ngo-2016, amaphesenti angama-50 kuphela amantombazane asakhula kanye namaphesenti angama-38 abafana abasebancane asebegonyelwe i-HPV ngokugcwele, ngokusho kukaJohns Hopkins Medicine. . Ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi izizathu ezijwayeleke kakhulu zokungagonywa zihlanganisa ukukhathazeka ngokuphepha kanye nokuntuleka kolwazi lomphakathi nge-HPV, kungasaphathwa-ke izifo ezingazibanga isikhathi eside.

Yingakho kubalulekile kubantu abanjengoCross ukuqwashisa ngomdlavuza ohambisana ne-HPV. Ngerekhodi, "wayengenantshisekelo yokuba ngumkhulumeli womdlavuza wendunu" waseHollywood, utshele Ukubhekana Nomdlavuza. "Bengifuna ukuqhubeka nomsebenzi wami nempilo yami," wabelana.

Kodwa-ke, ngemuva kokudlula kokuhlangenwe nakho nokufunda izindaba ezingenakubalwa zabantu "ababenamahloni" futhi "futhi beqamba amanga ngokuxilongwa kwabo," uCross uthe uzizwe ephoqelekile ukuthi akhulume. "Akuyona into okufanele ube namahloni ngayo noma ube namahloni ngayo," utshele le ncwadi.

Manje, uCross uthe ubona umuzwa wakhe womdlavuza wendunu "njengesipho" - esishintshe umbono wakhe ngempilo waba ngcono.

“Kuyakushintsha,” etshela lo magazini. “Futhi kuyakuvusa ukuthi usuku ngalunye luyigugu kangakanani. Angithathi lutho kalula, lutho. ”
