Musa Ukulahla Ithemba: Amabali Okwenyani Okuphila Nomhlaza Wengqondo

Nokuba sisiva igama elithi "umhlaza," uninzi lwethu luyoyika. Kwaye xa sisiva igama elithi "umhlaza wobuchopho," olo loyiko luyanda nangakumbi. Kodwa ngaba ukhe weva ngabantu abadlula kwiinkcukacha-manani nolwazi lwezonyango malunga nesi sifo baze bajongane naso ngenkalipho nethemba elingagungqiyo, baze baphile naso? Eli nqaku limalunga namabali abantu bokwenene abaphumelela ubomi obunjalo. La mabali asifundisa lukhulu ngobomi nethemba.

Uphila ngaphaya kwezibalo: Masive la mabali

Xa sisiva ngomhlaza wobuchopho, ingakumbi iintlobo ezinobungozi ezifana ne-"Malignant Glioma," sihlala siva iindaba ezingemnandi kangako. Kodwa aba bantu siza kuthetha nabo ngoku ngabo babonakalise ukuba zonke ezo ndaba zimbi azichanekanga. Abanye bebesilwa nesi sifo iminyaka engaphezu kweshumi, bephila ubomi obupheleleyo.

Ibali likaJim: "Umhlaza awunakulawula ubomi bam"

Khawuthelekelele, uJim ungumthandi wezemidlalo kwaye uyazilolonga rhoqo. Wade waziqeqesha nakwiimarathon. Ngenye imini ngo-1998, ngelixa wayezilolonga, ngequbuliso wahlaselwa kukuxhuzula , imeko efana nokuxhuzula. Elinye icala lomzimba wakhe laba ndindisholo ngokupheleleyo. "Ndandingazi ukuba kwenzeka ntoni ngelo xesha," utshilo uJim.

Naxa abahlobo bakhe bathi, "Hayi, hayi, akukho nto," bamthatha bamsa esibhedlele ngenkani. Emva kovavanyo oluninzi, ngosuku olulandelayo oogqirha bamxelela iindaba ezimbi. "Imeko imbi kakhulu. Unesifo somhlaza ebuchotsheni."

Ekuqaleni yafunyaniswa njenge-`(Oligodendroglioma)`, kamva kwaqinisekiswa ukuba luhlobo lomhlaza olubi olubizwa ngokuba yi-`(Malignant Glioma).` Ithumba alikwazanga ukususwa ngokupheleleyo ngotyando kuba lalijikelezwe yi-`(motor strip)`, inxalenye ephambili yobuchopho elawula intshukumo.

Kodwa uJim akazange anikezele. Waqala unyango lwe-radiation kunye ne -chemotherapy . Okwangoku, watshata waza waba nonyana. Waqhubeka nokudlala imidlalo ngelixa elwa nomhlaza. "Ngalo lonke ixesha umhlaza ubuya, kwakundithatha iintsuku ezimbini okanye ezintathu ukuba ndiphinde ndime. Kodwa ndagqiba kwelokuba, andizukuvumela lo mhlaza ulawule ubomi bam. Ndiza kubuyisela ubomi bam kwakhona. "

UJim usaphila nanamhlanje, ulwa nomhlaza kwaye unceda abanye. Uyonwabile kakhulu emva kwengxelo yakhe yamva nje ye-MRI. Kuba ithumba liqalile ukuncipha kwakhona. UJim uxelela wonke umntu, "Hlala unethemba. Uza kubona izibalo ezininzi. Musa ukucela okubi. Jonga zonke iindlela. Eyona nto iphambili kukugcina ithemba ngokwenene. "

Ibali likaMaria: "Bendisazi ukuba andizukufa"

UMaria naye wafunyaniswa ukuba unesifo emva kokuba ehlaselwe yi-"Seizure". Oogqirha bathi wayenohlobo lomhlaza olubi olubizwa ngokuba yi-"Glioblastoma". Emva kotyando, wanikwa ne-radiation kunye ne-chemotherapy.

"Ndazixelela ukuba, nokuba ndiyaphila okanye ndiya kufa. Kodwa ndandisazi ukuba andizukufa. Ndandinokuzithemba okukhulu. Ndandinamandla kakhulu. Ndathi, 'Andizukuvumela oku kundihlule.'"

Ukholelwa ukuba wafumana la mandla kubazali bakhe. Beza eMelika njengababaleki bezopolitiko bevela eCuba, beshiya yonke into ngasemva kwaye beza ngenkalipho enkulu. "Eso yayisisifundo sokuqala esasifundayo malunga nesibindi," utshilo uMaria.

Iingxelo zakhe ze-MRI azibonisanga tshintsho kangangeminyaka engaphezu kwemihlanu. Oko kuthetha ukuba umhlaza uyalawuleka. Umyalezo kaMaria ucacile. "Musa ukunikezela. Musa ukuphulaphula izibalo. Kuba zininzi izinto ezinokwenzeka. Ndikholelwa ukuba ukuchacha kwam ngummangaliso."

Ibali likaSarah: "Ndiziva ndinoxolo olukhulu ngaphakathi"

USarah wayesebenza kwivenkile yezixhobo zeofisi. Umsebenzi wakhe yayikukufundisa abathengi indlela yokusebenzisa oomatshini. Ngequbuliso, waqala ukubona umahluko. "Xa ndichazela umthengi ngeprinta, ndiyalahlekelwa yingcinga yokuba kwenzeka ntoni engqondweni yam phakathi kwencoko. Andikwazi ukuyigqiba."

Kwangaxeshanye, waqala ukuba neentloko ezibuhlungu yonke imihla, nto leyo eyayingaqhelekanga kuye. Wathabatha ikhefu leveki waza wahlolwa ngokupheleleyo ngugqirha. "CT scan", "MRI", emva kwayo yonke le nto, wafumana iindaba ezimbi. Wayenethumba lobuchopho elibizwa ngokuba yi "Glioblastoma".

Emva kotyando, naye waba nesifo sokuwa. Kulapho ke waqonda khona ukuba wayekhe wanesifo sokuwa esincinci ngolu hlobo ngaphambili, kwanaxa wayesebenza kwikhompyutha.

USarah ungumhlolokazi kwaye unabantwana abasibhozo. Kodwa ukwimo entle kakhulu. "Andiwi. Andizivumeli ukuba ndiwe. Ndiziva ndinoxolo olukhulu ngaphakathi. Ukholo lwam lonqulo lundinceda ndihlale ndizolile."

Yintoni esinokuyifunda kwezi bali?

Singagxininisa imixholo emininzi efanayo kwezi bali zintathu.

1. Musa ukuzityeshela iimpawu ezingaqhelekanga: Ukuba uneempawu ezintsha nezingaqhelekanga, ezifana nokuxhuzula ngequbuliso, iintloko ezibuhlungu ezihlala zikho, okanye ukulibala ngequbuliso, musa ukuzithatha njengento "eqhelekileyo." Bona ugqirha wakho ngoko nangoko ukuze ufumane ingcebiso. Ukuxilongwa kwangoko kubalulekile kunyango.

2. Ithemba kunye nombono olungileyo: Umxholo ophambili kuzo zontathu ezi bali lithemba. Zisibonisa ukubaluleka kokucinga ngendlela eyakhayo ngobomi kwaye singayeki ukulwa, nokuba isifo sinzima.

3. Inkqubo eqinileyo yenkxaso: Usapho, abahlobo, kunye neenkolelo zonqulo zingumthombo omkhulu wamandla ngamaxesha anzima anje. Ukuziva ngathi awuwedwa kunokuzisa intuthuzelo enkulu yengqondo.

Umhlaza wobuchopho ngumceli mngeni. Yiyo loo nto. Kodwa ayisosiphelo sobomi. Ngonyango olufanelekileyo, ingqondo eqinileyo, kunye nenkxaso yabantu obathandayo, olu celomngeni lunokoyiswa. UJim, uMaria, kunye noSarah bangumzekelo obalaseleyo woko.
