UAllyn Rose wayeneminyaka engama-26 kuphela ubudala xa wayesenziwa utyando lwebele kabini nokwakhiwa ngokutsha kwebele. Kodwa akazange akhethe ezi nkqubo ngenxa yesifo somhlaza webele. Wabakhetha njengenyathelo lokuthintela emva kokuphulukana nomama, umakhulu, kwaye umakazi omkhulu kwesi sifo. Esi yayisisiqalo sohambo lwakhe lokukhuthaza umhlaza wamabele.

[Yaqala] ngoDisemba kulo nyaka uphelileyo,” utshilo u-Allyn Ubume. "Ndandihleli ekhaya ndedwa kwaye ndicinga, 'Yintoni into endinokuyenza ukuze ndikhuthaze abantu abatsha ukuba basebenze kukhathalelo lwabo lwezempilo?'

Ngoku, ngolokuqala kwinyanga nganye, u-Allyn uthatha u-Instagram nge-selfie kunye ne-hashtag: #SelfExamGram. Isithuba ngasinye sisebenza njengesikhumbuzo senyanga kwabasetyhini ngokubaluleka kokuzivavanya kwamabele kunye nokwazi ukuba yintoni "eqhelekileyo" kumzimba wakho.

Umdla ka-Allyn kubhengezo lwezempilo uza ikakhulu kumama wakhe ongasekhoyo, ukuzinikela kukaJudy ukuze aphile ubomi obomeleleyo nobusempilweni. Emva kokulahlekelwa nguJudy ngenxa yomhlaza wamabele xa uAllyn wayeneminyaka eli-16 ubudala, uAllyn wayezimisele ukuqhubeka nothando lukanina.

UAllyn uthi: "Umama wayesoloko ekhuthele kakhulu ngempilo yakhe. “[Ngaphambi kokuba kufunyaniswe ukuba unomhlaza wamabele,] wayemana esiya kugqirha esithi, ‘Kukho into engahambi kakuhle.’ Yayiyimbaleki yomdyarho weembaleki, kwaye wayeziva ephelelwe ngamandla, wayengachacha ngendlela awayephila ngayo ngaphambili.Waze ugqirha wathi, 'Umncinci kakhulu ukuba ube nomhlaza.Buya uzokusibona kwiinyanga ezintandathu. .'” (Into ethi: Umncinane Kangakanani Unokuwufumana Umhlaza Webele?)

Ngexesha uJudy abuyela kwagqirha, wayenethumba "elilingana nebhola yegalufa" ebeleni. Wafunyaniswa enesigaba sesithathu somhlaza wamabele eneminyaka engama-27 ubudala.

"Wagxotha lonke iqela lakhe lezonyango, waya kwilayibrari yezonyango kwikhampasi yakhe yasekholejini, wafunda, wabuyela kugqirha esithi," Ndifuna le, nale, nantsi icebo lam lokuhlasela, "utshilo u-Allyn. "Kwaye wabetha lo mhlaza webele undlongondlongo ngokwenene."

Ngelishwa, umhlaza wamabele kaJudy wabuya emva kweminyaka xa uAllyn wayekwishumi elivisayo. "Kwakhona, waba nomhlaza webele wenqanaba lesithathu. Yaqhubela phambili, kwaye waphulukana nobomi bakhe, "kusho u-Allyn.

Xa uAllyn wayeneminyaka eli-18 ubudala, uyise wavelisa ingcamango yothintelo lwesibeleko esiphindwe kabini. "Ndivele ndakhula ndaba ngumzimba endinawo. Ndacinga," Kutheni isihogo ndingayenza into enje? Ndineminyaka eli-18 kuphela ubudala. ' Kodwa utata wam wandijonga ebusweni wathi, 'Uyakuphela uswelekile njengomama wakho. Kuya kufuneka uyenze ngakumbi le nto kuba ayingomntu omnye; ayingobantu babini; ngabantu abaninzi kusapho lwakho , yaye eli lishwa lakho lokwenene.'

Nangona u-Allyn kunye namalungu osapho lwakhe bevavanyiwe bengenayo i-BRCA gene mutatation (into eqhelekileyo esemngciphekweni womhlaza wamabele), ugqirha wakhe usamkhuthaza ukuba athathele ingqalelo uthintelo lwesibeleko sokubeleka kabini. "Ugqirha wam uthe," Awunalo utshintsho lwe-BRCA, kodwa kusenokwenzeka ukuba unento esingenakuyivavanya okwangoku, "utshilo u-Allyn. Uthathe iminyaka eliqela ukuba acinge ngenene ngesigqibo, kodwa enikwe imbali yosapho lwakhe, into yokuba umama wakhe wafunyaniswa enomhlaza wamabele esemncinci, kunye nenkuthazo kagqirha wakhe, uAllyn uthi ekugqibeleni wazenzela ukhetho olululo. "Ndenziwa utyando kwaye andikaze ndijonge emva," utshilo.

Kakade ke, wonke umntu wahlukile. Ngelixa isigqibo sika-Allyn sisenokumsa kwicala elingaqhelekanga, elona khondo lililo lilonke kukulandela izikhokelo zokuvavanywa komhlaza wamabele kunye nokudibana nogqirha malunga nezona zikhetho zifanelekileyo.

UAllyn, owayefudula ekhuphisana noMiss America, uyavuma ukuba uye wagxekwa ngesigqibo sakhe sokwenza utyando. "Abantu [kwingingqi yokhuphiswano loonobuhle] bakhubeka ngokwenene ukuba kungafuneka ndenziwe utyando olunje," utshilo. Ayendibhalela amadoda, esithi, Yini na ukuba uwonakalisa umzimba wakho?

Nangona kunjalo, uthi izinto ezintle ziye zakudlula lee izinto ezimbi. "Yonke imihla, ndifumana omnye umyalezo ovela kumntu othi, 'Ndimncinci, ndandingazi ukuba ndingayifumana [i-mastectomy yokuthintela],' okanye nokuba, 'Ndimdala, kwaye andinayo. isibindi sokwenza; undinika inkuthazo, "wabelana. "Ndivakalelwa kukuba luxanduva lwam ukwabelana nomyalezo."

Kwezi ntsuku, uAllyn usasaza lo myalezo ngeendlela ezininzi. Ngokuhamba kwakhe #SelfExamGram, unceda abantu basetyhini ukuba bazive bekhuselekile ekwenzeni iimviwo zebele rhoqo kubo. "[Iemviwo zokuzihlola isifuba] zibonakala zilula kakhulu, kodwa kwakhona ngumbuzo onzima ukuphendula: Ndizihlola njani? Ngokuqinisekileyo, ubamba amabele akho. Kodwa akukho mntu uyazi ngokwenene ukuba yintoni amanyathelo, yintoni omele uyenze? khangela, kwaye ukuba ufumana iqhuma, wenza ntoni? Ucacisa.

Ukongeza kwizithuba zakhe zenyanga, u-Allyn ukwabonisa ibali le-Instagram ngesifundo sokuzihlola esibeleni, kunye neescreen zamabhinqa aphefumlelweyo ukuba amlandele kwaye abelane ngezabo #SelfExamGram. "Ndinabantu ababhalela kum njengokuthi," Kulungile, ndiyibonile iposti yakho njengamaxesha amahlanu ngoku, ke ndiza kuyenza, nam. Kwaye yinyani leyo, utshilo u-Allyn. (BTW, nantsi isifundo sethu sendlela yokwenza uvavanyo lokuzihlola lwebele.)

Usukelo luka-Allyn kukubonelela abasetyhini ngezinto awayenqwenela ukuba babenazo xa wayesenziwa isibeleko sokubeleka nokwakhiwa ngokutsha kwebele. “Ndicinga ukuba mininzi imibutho enceda abasetyhini [abadala] abalwa nomhlaza wamabele,” uyacacisa. "Kodwa [akukho zibonelelo zininzi] zomntu okwiminyaka ye-20 kwaye ohamba kuyo." (Idibeneyo: Yintoni endinqwenela ukuba ndiyazi malunga neCarcer Breast In My 20s)

Ukufezekisa loo njongo, ngoku u-Allyn usebenza ne-AiRS Foundation, umbutho ongajonganga nzuzo osebenzisana noogqirha, ababoneleli ngononophelo lwempilo, kunye namaziko okhathalelo lwempilo ukubonelela abantu ngenkxaso, ulwazi kunye nezixhobo (zombini ezemali nezemfundo) emva- ukwakhiwa kwakhona kwebele.

U-Allyn usandula ukwazisa iwebhusayithi ebizwa ngokuba yi-Previvor, isibonelelo esibanzi esixhasa abantu basetyhini kunye nokukhetha kwabo ukwakhiwa kwakhona kwebele. Iziko lewebhu libonelela ngezixhobo zangoku, ezinokufikeleleka kwabasetyhini abancinci abafuna ukwakhiwa kwakhona kwebele emva kokubelekisa, kubandakanya infographics echaza iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zenkqubo yokwakhiwa kwamabele kunye nokuvuselelwa kwebele, iinkcukacha ezifumanekayo malunga nokutshintsha kwemfuza ye-BRCA kunye novavanyo lofuzo, kunye nendawo yoluntu ekhuthaza abantu basetyhini ukuba "bafumane isizwe sabo "phakathi kweminye imibutho yokwazisa ngomhlaza wamabele.

"Ndandifuna ukwenza i-Previvor into eya kunceda abantu abanaloo nto, 'Owu madoda andinakuyenza le nto, oku kuya kutshabalalisa ubomi bam' ukuvakalelwa [nge-mastectomy kunye nokwakhiwa kwakhona kwebele]," wabelana no-Allyn. "Ndifuna ukuba bahambe bafikelele kulwazi kwaye basebenze kancinci ukuya kwindlela yokwenyani yotyando."

Kwaye ukuba ungumntu ofuna nje ukufunda ukwenza uvavanyo lokuzibamba, u-Allyn unomyalezo kuwe, naye: "Musa ukoyika ukuslayida kwii-DM zam."
