Inqaku lomhleli: Eli qhekeza ekuqaleni lalibhalwe ngoFebruwari 9, 2016. Umhla walo wokupapashwa okwangoku ubonakalisa uhlaziyo.

Kungekudala emva kokujoyina i-Healthline, uSheryl Rose wafumanisa ukuba une-BRCA1 gene kwaye waye semngciphekweni womhlaza webele kunye nowesibeleko.

Yena ukhethe ukuqhubeka nge-mastectomy yamazwe amabini kunye ne-oophorectomy. Ngoku utyando lusemva kwakhe, usendleleni yokubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo. Funda ngengcebiso yakhe kwabanye abahlangabezana nobunzima obufanayo.

Ngoku ndineeveki ezi-6 ndiphume kwimastectomy yam yamazwe amabini kunye nokwakha kwakhona, kwaye bendinalo ixesha lokucinga. Ndiyaqonda ukuba lo ibingunyaka wobunzima ebomini bam, kodwa ndonwabile ngezigqibo endizenzileyo.

I-BRCA1 akufuneki ibe sisigwebo sentambo ukuba ulawula imeko, kwaye yile nto kanye ndiyenzileyo. Kwaye ngoku ukuba eyona nto inzima sele idlulile, ndiya kuphila kwakhona-ngokwasemzimbeni nangokweemvakalelo.

Ndicinga emva kweeveki ezi-6 ezidlulileyo kunye nendlela endandisoyika ngayo ngaphambi kotyando. Bendisazi ukuba ndisezandleni ezilungileyo kakhulu kwaye ndineqela lamaphupha afole- uGqirha uDeborah Axelrod (ugqirha wamabele) kunye noGqirha Mihye Choi (ugqirha weplastiki).

Zombini zezona zibalaseleyo kwi-NYU Langone kwaye ndaziva ndiqinisekile ukuba konke kuya kuhamba kakuhle. Okwangoku, ndinezinto ezimbalwa endinqwenela ukuba abantu bandixelele zona ngaphambi kokuba ndiyokuhlinzwa, kwaye ke ndifuna ukwabelana ngezinto endizifundileyo.

Siza kubabiza ngokuba "ziingcebiso zophando."

Kuya kuba ngcono emva kobusuku obunye

Ubusuku bokuqala bunzima, kodwa abunyamezeleki. Uya kudinwa, kwaye akuyi kuba lula kangako ukuhlala kamnandi okanye ukulala kakhulu esibhedlele.

Yazi nje ukuba izinto ziphucuka kakhulu emva kobusuku bokuqala. Musa ukuba ngumfeli-nkolo xa kufikwa kunyango lwentlungu: Ukuba uyayifuna, yithathe.

Lala kwindawo ephantsi

Xa uqala ukugoduka, kusenzima ukuhamba. Qiniseka ukuba awugoduki wedwa, kuba ngokuqinisekileyo uyakufuna umntu oza kubakho ukuze akukhathalele.

Elinye lawona macala anzima kukungena nokuphuma ebhedini.Ngobusuku besibini okanye besithathu, ndiye ndafumanisa ukuba kuyanceda ukulala ebhedini ephantsi okanye esofeni kuba emva koko unokuqengqeleka ebhedini.

Yakha amandla akho angundoqo kwangaphambili

Emva kwemastectomy yamazwe amabini, awuzukusebenzisa iingalo okanye isifuba sakho (oku kunokuba kuncinci kwimeko ye-mastectomy enye). Ingcebiso yam kukwenza izinto ezithile ngaphambi kotyando lwakho.

Akukho namnye owakha wandixelela oku, kodwa amandla akho angundoqo abaluleke kakhulu ngezo ntsuku zokuqala. Okukhona yomelele, kokukhona kuya kuba ngcono.

Uya kuxhomekeka ngakumbi kwimisipha yesisu sakho kunaleyo uyiqhelileyo, ke kungcono ukuba uqiniseke ukuba undoqo ukulungele ukuphatha umsebenzi.

Ziqhelise ukosula

Ndiyazi ukuba oku kuvakala kuyinto engaqhelekanga, kodwa kwakhona, ezi zizinto nje ezincinci ezenza loo veki yokuqala yokuchacha ibe mnandi ngakumbi.

Ngaphambi kotyando, ufuna ukuziqhelanisa nokusula kwigumbi lokuhlambela ngezandla zozibini, kuba awuyazi ukuba yeyiphi ingalo oya kuba nayo kuluhlu olungcono lokuhamba.

Kwakhona, tyala imali usula usana kuba oko kwenza ukuba inkqubo ibelula. Le yenye yezo zinto akukho mntu wakha wacinga ngazo, kodwa ndikholelwe, uyakonwabela ukuba nale ngcebiso incinci.

Ukuba yi-wiper ye-ambidextrous yeyona nto yokugqibela ofuna ukuzikhathaza ngayo emva kotyando olukhulu.

Funda indlela yokukhupha amanzi

Uza kuncanyathiselwa kwimisele emininzi emva kwembumba yamacala amabini, kwaye nokuba ucinga ukuba uyayazi indlela yokuyisebenzisa, vumela abongikazi bakubonise nomongi wakho ukuba ungazikhupha njani ngokufanelekileyo.

Sasicinga ukuba siyazi kwaye, ngokuqinisekileyo, ndigqibezela ukunxiba egazini phambi kokuba siboniswe indlela yokwenza ngokufanelekileyo. Ayisiyongxaki, iyacaphukisa kwaye intle kakhulu.

Fumana iipilo ezininzi

Udinga iipilo ezininzi kuzo zonke iimilo ezahlukeneyo kunye nobukhulu. Unokuzifuna phantsi kweengalo zakho, phakathi kwemilenze yakho, kunye nenkxaso yentloko nentamo yakho.

Akukho ndlela yokuba ndazi ukuba uya kuziva njani wonwabe. Yinto encinci yesilingo kunye nephutha, kodwa ndandonwabile ukuba neepillows kuyo yonke indawo.

Nokuba iiveki ezi-6 ziphumile, ndisalele ngemiqamelo emibini emincinci emile okweentliziyo phantsi kweengalo zam ezenzelwe ngokukodwa izigulana zasemva kokubeleka, kwaye ndiyazithanda!

Cinga ngokufumana unyango

Asinguye wonke umntu oyifunayo, kodwa ukuba unomdla kwaphela, ndicinga ukuba unyango lomzimba yinto entle ekufuneka ujonge kuyo. Sendisenza ngoku iiveki ezintathu kwaye ndonwabile ndenze isigqibo sokwenza njalo.

Ugqirha wakho ngokuqinisekileyo angakubhekisa komnye umntu. Ndifumanise ukuba kuluncedo nyani ekuphuculeni uluhlu lwam lokuhamba kunye nokunye kokudumba endikhe ndakufumana.

Akuyena wonke umntu, kwaye nokuba oogqirha bathi awuyidingi, ndiyathembisa ukuba ayikwazi ukulimaza - kuya kunceda kuphela ukubuyiswa kwakho.

Ixesha liyaphilisa onke amanxeba

Ngokwasemzimbeni, ndiziva ndibhetele yonke imihla. Ndithathe inyanga emsebenzini ukuphilisa, kwaye ngoku ndibuyile emsebenzini kwaye ndihambahamba, ndiziva ndingcono.

Ngokuqinisekileyo, kuyavakala ukuba kuyamangalisa ngamanye amaxesha ukufakelwa kwam okutsha, kodwa ubukhulu becala, ndiziva ndibuyela kumdala.

Ukuchacha yimvakalelo, hayi ngokwasemzimbeni kuphela

Ngaphandle kokuchacha ngokwasemzimbeni ibilulolo hambo lweemvakalelo. Maxa wambi ndiye ndizijonge esipilini ndize ndizibuze ukuba ingaba ndibonakala ngathi “ndiyinkohliso” kusini na.

Iliso lam liya kwangoko kuzo zonke iimpazamo, hayi ukuba zininzi, kodwa kunjalo zimbalwa. Ubukhulu becala, ndicinga ukuba zikhangeleka zintle!

Ndijoyine uluntu kuFacebook lwe-BRCA, apho ndafunda amanye amabali amabhinqa malunga noko bakubiza ngokuba zi "foobs" (boobs fake), kwaye ndiyavuya ukubona wonke umntu enesidima ngayo.

Ngosuku ngalunye, ngakumbi nangakumbi, ndiya ndisebenzisa umbono kunye nokungabikho kwemvakalelo, kwaye ndiqonda ukuba utshintsho luyinxalenye yobomi. Kwaye, masijongane nayo, akukho namnye kuthi ogqibeleleyo.

Ndisanombulelo ngokupheleleyo ekubeni ndinethuba lokwenza into ngokukuko, kwaye ngethemba andisoze ndifumane umhlaza wamabele (ndisenomngcipheko ongaphantsi kweepesenti ezi-5). Oko kuyakwenza ukuba konke kulunge.

Ukusasaza ulwazi kuye kwandinceda

Njengengxenye yokuchacha kwam ngokwasemphefumlweni, bendizama ngenene ukuzibandakanya kwaye ndiphakamise ulwazi ngokubhala nangokuzinikela.

Ngophando lwam, ndafunda ngeZiko leBasser le-BRCA kwiPenn Medicine. Ziziko eliphambili lophando lwee-cancer ezinxulumene ne-BRCA kumadoda nabasetyhini, kwaye benza izinto ezimangalisayo.

Ndifikelele kubo kwaye ndabelana ngebali lam ndaza ndabuza malunga neendlela zokuzibandakanya, ngaphaya kweminikelo.

Ndizakuthatha inxaxheba kwiphulo lokwazisa eliya kuthi lihambise iiposta kwizindlu zesikhungu kwindawo yam, ukunceda iziko lifike eAshkenazi Jewish, nelona qela libeka emngciphekweni omkhulu utshintsho lwe-BRCA.

Ndonwabile ukuba nethuba lokubuyisa kwaye mhlawumbi ndenze omnye umntu abe nolwazi nge-BRCA kunye nokhetho abanalo.

Ngokubanzi, ndenza kakuhle. Ezinye iintsuku zinzima kunezinye. Ngeentsuku ezithile, ndiye ndijonge umfanekiso wamabele am adala kwaye ndicinge ukuba ubomi bam ngebube lula kangakanani ukuba bekungekho nenye kwezi zenzekileyo.

Kodwa uninzi lweentsuku, ndiyithatha kancinci kwaye ndiyakhunjuzwa ukuba ndenze eyona nto ndinikwe yona.

Yintoni i-BRCA?

• Uhlobo lwe-BRCA1 kunye ne-BRCA2 luvelisa iiprotein ezithintela amathumba. Utshintsho kuyo nayiphi na into lunokunyusa umngcipheko womhlaza.
