He aha ka chemotherapy? Mai hopohopo, e kamaʻilio maʻalahi kākou e pili ana!

ʻO ka huaʻōlelo "chemotherapy" a i ʻole "chemo" e lawe mai i ka makaʻu a me ka hopohopo i ka nui o kākou. Malia paha ua haʻi ʻia ʻoe a i ʻole kahi mea aloha e pili ana i kēia lāʻau lapaʻau e ke kauka. A i ʻole makemake paha ʻoe e ʻike hou aku e pili ana i ia mea. ʻOiai ke kumu, ua kūpono ka makaʻu e hiki mai ana i ka noʻonoʻo ke lohe ʻoe i kēia inoa. Akā ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka chemotherapy kekahi o nā mea kaua ikaika loa a maikaʻi loa iā kākou i ke kaua ʻana i ka maʻi kanesa. No laila i kēia lā, e waiho kākou i kekahi o ko kākou mau makaʻu a kamaʻilio maʻalahi a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e pili ana i kona ʻano maoli, pehea e hana ai, a no ke aha e loaʻa ai nā hopena ʻaoʻao.

He aha maoli ka chemotherapy?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ka chemotherapy kahi ʻano lāʻau lapaʻau i hāʻawi ʻia e pepehi i nā hunaola kanesa a i ʻole e hoʻōki iā lākou mai ka ulu ʻana. He mau lāʻau ikaika loa kēia. Ua kapa ʻia lākou ʻo "chemo drugs."

I mea e maopopo ai pehea e hana ai kēia, e nānā mua kākou i nā ʻāpana o ko kākou kino. Hana ʻia ko kākou kino e nā piliona o nā ʻāpana. Māhele nā ​​ʻāpana olakino i ka wā e pono ai, hana i nā ʻāpana hou, a make i ka wā ʻaʻole pono hou. He hana hoʻonohonoho pono loa kēia. Kāhea mākou i kēia ʻo ka 'Cell Cycle'.

Akā, he ʻokoʻa nā hunaola kanesa, he puʻu i hiki ʻole ke wānana ʻia. ʻAʻole lākou e hana ma kēia ʻano. Hoʻomau lākou i ka māhele ʻana a me ka ulu ʻana me ke kaohi ʻole, akā ʻaʻole lākou e make. ʻO kēia mahele i kāohi ʻole ʻia ka mea e hana ai i nā puʻupuʻu. Hiki i kēia mau mea ke hōʻino i nā ʻiʻo olakino.

ʻO kēia kahi e komo mai ai ka chemotherapy. ʻO ka pahuhopu nui o ka chemotherapy ka māhele wikiwiki ʻana o nā pūnaewele. ʻOiai ʻo nā pūnaewele kanesa kahi ʻano pūnaewele e māhele wikiwiki loa ana, hele pololei ka chemotherapy i kēia mau pūnaewele kanesa. Hoʻōki ia i ke kaʻina hana mahele o kēlā mau pūnaewele a luku iā lākou. ʻO ia hoʻi, hoʻōki ia i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o nā pūnaewele kanesa hou.

No ke kanesa wale nō anei ka hoʻohana ʻia ʻana o ka chemotherapy?

I ka hapanui o nā hihia, ʻae. ʻO ka chemotherapy ka lāʻau lapaʻau nui no ka maʻi kanesa. Hiki i kāu kauka lapaʻau oncology ke ʻōlelo aku i ka chemotherapy me nā lāʻau lapaʻau ʻē aʻe. Eia kekahi laʻana:

• ʻOki: Hiki ke hāʻawi ʻia ka chemotherapy e hoʻēmi i kahi puʻupuʻu ma mua o ka ʻoki ʻana a me ka wehe ʻana. Hiki nō hoʻi ke hāʻawi ʻia ka chemotherapy e pepehi i nā hunaola kanesa i koe ma hope o ke ʻoki ʻana.
• Lapaʻau Radiation: ʻO ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka radiation therapy me ka chemotherapy hiki ke hoʻonui i ka holomua o ka lāʻau.
• Nā lāʻau lapaʻau ʻē aʻe: I kekahi manawa hāʻawi pū ʻia me nā lāʻau lapaʻau hou e like me 'Immunotherapy' a i ʻole 'Targeted Therapy'.

Akā aia kekahi mau hihia kahi e hoʻohana ʻia ai ka chemotherapy ʻaʻole wale no ka maʻi kanesa, akā no kekahi mau maʻi olakino ʻē aʻe.

• Nā maʻi Autoimmune:I loko o kēia mau maʻi, hoʻouka hewa ka ʻōnaehana pale o ko mākou kino (ʻōnaehana pale) i kā mākou mau hunaola olakino ponoʻī. Hoʻomalu nā lāʻau lapaʻau chemotherapy i ka ulu ʻana o kēia mau hunaola pale ikaika loa, e hōʻemi ana i ka pōʻino a lākou e hana ai i ke kino.
• Nā Maʻi Koko: I kekahi mau maʻi koko, hana ko kākou iwi iwi i nā hunaola koko ʻē. I ia mau hihia, pono paha kahi hoʻoili hunaola. Ma mua o kēlā, hāʻawi ʻia ka chemotherapy e luku i kēia mau hunaola ʻē a hana i ala no nā hunaola olakino hou.

He aha nā ʻano lāʻau chemotherapy?

ʻOiai ua kapa ʻia ʻo "chemo," ʻaʻole ia he lāʻau hoʻokahi wale nō. Nui nā ʻano lāʻau chemo. Ua māhele ʻia lākou i kekahi mau ʻano ma muli o ka mea i hana ʻia ai lākou a pehea lākou e pepehi ai i nā hunaola kanesa. E koho kāu kauka i ka lāʻau a i ʻole ka hui pū ʻana o nā lāʻau lapaʻau i kūpono loa iā ʻoe ma muli o ke ʻano o ka maʻi kanesa āu, pehea ka mamao o kona laha ʻana (kahua), a me kou olakino holoʻokoʻa.

I kekahi manawa, ma kahi o hoʻokahi lāʻau lapaʻau wale nō, hāʻawi pū ʻia kekahi mau lāʻau lapaʻau. Kāhea mākou i kēia he chemotherapy hui pū ʻia . Hana ʻia kēia e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka lāʻau lapaʻau. No ka mea, hoʻouka kēlā me kēia lāʻau lapaʻau i nā hunaola kanesa ma ke ʻano ʻokoʻa. Kōkua nō hoʻi ia i ka pale ʻana i ke kino mai ka lilo ʻana i kūʻē i ka lāʻau lapaʻau like.

Aia ma ka papa ma lalo nei kekahi mau papa nui o nā lāʻau chemotherapy.

E kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i nā hopena ʻaoʻao a nā mea a pau e makaʻu nei.

I ke kamaʻilio ʻana e pili ana i ka chemo, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻōlelo ʻole e pili ana i nā hopena ʻaoʻao. ʻO kēia ka mea e hopohopo ai nā poʻe he nui. No laila no ke aha e hana ʻia ai kēia mau hopena ʻaoʻao?

E hoʻomanaʻo i kā mākou i ʻōlelo ai ma mua ua kuhikuhi ka chemotherapy i nā pūnaewele e māhele wikiwiki ana . ʻAʻole wale nā ​​​​pūnaewele kanesa, akā, ʻo kekahi mau pūnaewele olakino i loko o ko mākou kino e māhele wikiwiki pū kekahi. Eia kekahi laʻana:

• ʻO nā pūnaewele ma ke aʻa o ko mākou lauoho
• Nā pūnaewele e uhi ana i ka waha a me ke ala ʻai
• Nā pūnaewele hoʻokumu koko i loko o ka iwi iwi

ʻAʻole hiki i nā lāʻau lapaʻau chemotherapy ke hoʻokaʻawale ma waena o nā hunaola kanesa a me nā hunaola olakino. No laila, ʻoiai e hoʻouka ana i nā hunaola kanesa, hōʻino pū lākou i kēia mau hunaola olakino e māhele wikiwiki ana. ʻO ia ke kumu e loaʻa ai nā hopena ʻaoʻao.

Akā ʻo ka mea maikaʻi loa ma ʻaneʻi, hiki i ko kākou mau hunaola olakino ke hoʻōla mai kēia pōʻino. Akā, ʻaʻole hiki i nā hunaola maʻi kanesa, make wale lākou.

Nā hopena ʻaoʻao maʻamau

Hiki ke ʻokoʻa nā hopena ʻaoʻao ma muli o ke ʻano o ka chemotherapy āu e loaʻa ai. ʻAʻole loaʻa i nā kānaka a pau nā hopena ʻaoʻao like. ʻO nā mea maʻamau:

• Luhi: He mea kēia i ʻike ʻia e ka poʻe he nui.
• Ka Luli a me ka Luaʻi: ​​Akā i kēia manawa aia nā lāʻau lapaʻau maikaʻi loa e kaohi i kēia.
• Pohō lauoho: ʻAʻole nā ​​lāʻau chemo āpau e hoʻoulu ai i ka pohō lauoho. Inā paha e hana lākou, e ulu hou ka lauoho ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka lāʻau.
• Nā ʻeha waha: Hiki i nā ʻeha liʻiliʻi ke ulu i loko o ka waha.
• Ka nalowale o ka makemake e ʻai: Hiki ke loli ka ʻono o ka meaʻai.
• Ka maʻi kahe a i ʻole ka paʻa ʻana o ka ʻōpū
• Ka emi ʻana o ka helu o nā ʻāpana koko: Hoʻopilikia ʻia ka iwi iwi, e alakaʻi ana i ka emi ʻana o nā ʻāpana koko ʻulaʻula, e hana ana i ka anemia , a me ka emi ʻana o nā ʻāpana koko keʻokeʻo, e hana ana i ka neutropenia . Ke hana ʻia ka neutropenia, e emi ana ka hiki o ke kino ke hakakā i nā germs, e maʻalahi ai ka loaʻa ʻana o nā maʻi.

I ka manawa hea e pono ai iaʻu ke kamaʻilio me ke kauka?

He mea nui e loaʻa ka kamaʻilio maikaʻi ma waena ou a me kāu kauka i ka wā o kāu mālama chemo. Mai makaʻu e haʻi i kāu kauka e pili ana i kekahi ʻeha a i ʻole nā ​​​​hopena ʻaoʻao āu e ʻike nei.

• Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe nā hopena ʻaoʻao hiki ʻole ke hoʻomanawanui, e haʻi koke mai iaʻu.
• E haʻi mai iaʻu inā ʻaʻole e hana ana ka lāʻau lapaʻau no ka nausea a me ka ʻeha.
• Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi maʻi e like me ke kuni a i ʻole ke anu, e hoʻomaopopo koke mai iā mākou.

Hiki i kāu kauka ke kuhikuhi i kahi lāʻau lapaʻau ʻokoʻa a hoʻololi paha i ka nui a i ʻole ka papa hana o kāu chemotherapy. E hoʻomanaʻo, ʻaʻole ʻoe e hele wale ana ma kēia huakaʻi.
