Kutheni ufanele uye kugqirha wezifo zomhlaza? Masifunde ngale nto.

Xa ugqirha wakho esithi, "Ndifuna ukubona ingcali yomhlaza," usenokuba noloyiko kancinci. Kuqhelekile ukuzibuza, "Ngaba ndinomhlaza?" Kodwa, akunjalo rhoqo. Ngamanye amaxesha kunokuba yindlela yokudlulisela ukuze kulungiswe amathandabuzo. Ngoko ke, ngaphandle kokuchitha ixesha, masithethe ngokuba ngubani ingcali yomhlaza, yintoni kanye kanye abayenzayo, kwaye kufuneka ubabone nini.

Ngubani lo gqirha wezifo zomhlaza?

Ngamafutshane, sibiza oogqirha abaxilonga kwaye banyange umhlaza ngokuba yingcali yomhlaza. Lo gqirha uhlala engumnikezeli wezempilo oyintloko kumntu onomhlaza. Cinga ngalo gqirha njengokapteni weqela lakho ekulweni nomhlaza. Indima yakhe kukucwangcisa unyango, ukukunika inkxaso oyifunayo, kwaye, ukuba kuyimfuneko, ukulungelelanisa unyango lwakho nezinye iingcali. Sibiza eli candelo lezonyango elinxulumene nomhlaza (i-Oncology) .

Yintoni kanye kanye eyenziwa yi-oncologist?

Ugqirha womhlaza unyanga izigulana kulo lonke ixesha lesifo sazo. Oko kuthetha ukuba:

• Inyathelo lokuqala kukuqinisekisa umhlaza wesigulane.
• Ukuchaza umhlaza kunye nenqanaba lawo ngendlela elula kumguli nakusapho.
• Ukuchaza zonke iindlela zonyango ezikhoyo kunye nokucebisa isicwangciso sonyango esifanelekileyo sesigulana.
• Ukubeka esweni imeko yesigulana kulo lonke ixesha lonyango.
• Ukunceda ukulawula iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga kunye neempawu ezibangelwa sisifo kunye nonyango lwaso.

Kukho iingcali ezininzi ezincinci kwiingcali zomhlaza, ngoko ke uza kusebenza ukongeza oogqirha abafanelana kakuhle nesicwangciso sakho sonyango kwiqela lakho.

Kuxa kutheni apho uthunyelwa kwi-oncologist?

Ukuba ugqirha wakho wosapho ukrokrela into ethile, angakuthumela kwingcali yomhlaza ukuze afumane uluvo lweengcali. Oku kuya kunceda ekufumaneni unobangela wengxaki yakho kwaye kubonelele ngonyango olungcono.

1. Jonga ukuba akukho qhuma okanye iqhuma elingaqhelekanga emzimbeni

Akusoloko kulula kugqirha ukufumanisa ngoko nangoko ukuba iqhuma linomhlaza okanye akunjalo. Ke ngoko, kuyathunyelwa kugqirha wezifo zomhlaza ukuze kuhlolwe ngakumbi. Ngokubhekisa koku,

• Kuyathuthuzela ukwazi ukuba awunayo i-cancer.
• Ungaqinisekisa ukuba unobangela weempawu zakho awungomhlaza.
• Ukuba inobungozi, inokubhaqwa kwasekuqaleni . Emva koko amathuba okuba unyango luphumelele aphezulu.

2. Cwangcisa unyango xa sele uqinisekisiwe ukuba umhlaza ukhona

Ukuba ufunyaniswe unomhlaza, uza kuthunyelwa kugqirha wezifo zomhlaza. Uza kuvavanya imeko yakho, achaze iindlela zonyango lwakho, aze enze ingcebiso. Isicwangciso sonyango singabandakanya:

• Unyango ngemitha : Ukunciphisa ukukhula kwethumba ngelixa kunciphisa umonakalo kwizicubu ezisempilweni.
• Utyando : Ukususa ithumba ngotyando.
• Unyango olujoliswe kulo: Ukunciphisa ukusasazeka komhlaza kwezinye iindawo.
• I-Chemotherapy : Unyango olutshabalalisa iiseli zomhlaza .

3. Fumana uluvo lwesibini

Umhlaza sisifo esintsonkothileyo. Kungoko ke, kuqhelekile ukufuna uluvo lwesibini kugqirha wezifo zomhlaza. Musa ukuziva unetyala ngaloo nto okanye ucaphuke kugqirha wakho. Ngokufumana uluvo lwesibini,

• Ungafumana ingcali ukuqinisekisa ukuba unesifo.
• Ungafunda okungakumbi ngohlobo kunye nenqanaba lomhlaza.
• Ungafunda ngezinye iindlela zonyango .
• Ungafunda ngezilingo zeklinikhi ezikhoyo .

4. Kwiimeko ezinxulumene negazi

Ingcali ye-hematologist-oncologist ikwanyanga izifo ezingezizo zomhlaza ezinxulumene negazi. Ugqirha angakuthumela ukuba uneempawu ezifana nezi:

• Iimpawu ze-Anemia: Iinzipho ezibuthathaka, ulwimi oluvuvukileyo , ukudinwa kakhulu, isifo sentliziyo.
• Iimpawu zesifo se-sickle cell: usulelo oluqhelekileyo, ukudumba kwamalungu omzimba, iingxaki zokubona, iintlungu eziqatha.
• Iimpawu zokuqhekeka kwegazi (Thrombosis): Ukudumba, iintlungu, ukutshintsha kombala kwendawo echaphazelekayo.

Yintoni omele uyilindele xa usiya kubona i-oncologist?

Intlanganiso yakho yokuqala kukubonisana nogqirha. Injongo ephambili kagqirha kukufumanisa ukuba unomhlaza na, ukuba uphi, kwaye ukuba ukhona, ukukunika izixhobo ezilungileyo zokulawula imeko yakho. Ngeli xesha lentlanganiso, ugqirha uza kukuxilonga kakuhle aze akubuze ngembali yakho neyentsapho yakho. Ungalibali ukuzisa zonke iingxelo zakho zangaphambili kunye noluhlu lwamayeza owathathayo (kuquka nezongezo).Uza kuhlola iiskeni esele zenziwe, aze, ukuba kuyimfuneko, a-odole iimvavanyo ezintsha. Ezi zinokubandakanya uvavanyo lwegazi nomchamo, kunye novavanyo lwemifanekiso olufana ne -CT scan, i-MRI, i-PET scan okanye i-ultrasound . Ukuba kurhanelwa ukuba umhlaza unesifo, kufuneka i-biopsy, equka ukususa iqhekeza elincinci lesicubu, ukuqinisekisa ukuxilongwa. Le sampulu yesicubu ihlolwa yingcali yezifo ukuze kubonwe ukuba kukho iiseli zomhlaza na. Ukuba umhlaza okanye isifo esinxulumene negazi siqinisekisiwe, amanyathelo alandelayo kagqirha ngala:

• Ukuchaza zonke iindlela zonyango ezikhoyo kuwe kunye nokucebisa yena.
• Ukuthetha ngezinto oyoyikayo nezinto ezikuxhalabisayo.
• Ukuhlanganisa iqela leengcali ezifunekayo ukuze kubonelelwe ngesicwangciso esipheleleyo sonyango.
• Ukubonelela ngengcamango esisiseko (uqikelelo) malunga nokuba kunokwenzeka na ukunyanga esi sifo.

Usenokuba nemibuzo emininzi ekufuneka uyibuze ugqirha. Musa ukuyikhumbula. Umzekelo,

• Ukuba ufuna ukufumana uluvo lwesibini, kufuneka ulufumane phi kwaye nini?
• Ngaba unyango luza kuyichaphazela inzala yam?
• Zithini iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga zonyango?
• Zeziphi izixhobo (amaqela enkxaso) ezikhoyo zokundinceda?
• Zithini iinjongo kunye namanqanaba empumelelo yale nkqubo yonyango?

Ingcali yomhlaza ngesiSinhala, ingcali yomhlaza, unyango lomhlaza, ichemotherapy, unyango lwemitha, iimpawu zomhlaza, ukuxilongwa komhlaza eSri Lanka
