Kwiminyaka engama-28 ubudala, into yokugqibela engqondweni kaFrida Orozco yayingumhlaza wemiphunga. Nangona wayenokukhohlela iinyanga, wayekrokrela ukuba yayiyimeko nje yokuhamba inyumoniya.

UFrida uthi: "Sixakeke kakhulu kule mihla kwaye asimisi nokuma ukuze simamele imizimba yethu." “Kwakungekho mbali yomhlaza wemiphunga kusapho lwam. Awukho umhlaza kwaphela, nokuba awuzange ufike engqondweni yam. "

Njengoko ukukhwehlela kwakhe kwanda kwaye waba nomkhuhlane ophantsi, uFrida wakhathazeka. "Kwinyanga ephelileyo phambi kokuba ndihlolwe, bendihlala ndikhohlela, ndiqala ukuba nesiyezi ngamanye amaxesha, kwaye ndiqalise nokuba nentlungu kwicala lasekhohlo leembambo kunye negxalaba," utshilo.

Ekugqibeleni wagula kakhulu kangangokuba wayelele ebhedini kwaye waphoswa ziintsuku ezininzi zomsebenzi. Kulapho uFrida wagqiba kwelokuba atyelele indawo yononophelo engxamisekileyo, apho iX-ray yesifuba yafumana iqhuma emiphungeni yakhe kunye novavanyo lweCT lwaqinisekisa ubunzima.

Ithumba likaFrida yayisisilonda somhlaza, eyona ndlela iqhelekileyo yomhlaza wemiphunga (malunga ne-1 ukuya kwi-2 yepesenti yomhlaza wemiphunga yi-carcinoid). Olu hlobo lwethumba ludla ngokukhula kancinci kunezinye iintlobo zesi sifo. Xa yafunyanwa, yayiziisentimitha ezi-5 kuphela ngeesentimitha ezi-5 ngokobukhulu.

Ngenxa yobukhulu bayo, ugqirha wakhe naye wamangaliswa akazange abe nazimpawu zimbi. Ubuzile ukuba bendibile ndimanzi, kwaye bendihleli ebusuku kakhulu, kodwa ndicinge ukuba kubangelwa kukutyeba okungaphaya kwama-40 okanye kukugula ngumkhuhlane. Khange ndicinge nto ngaphaya koko, utshilo uFrida.

Kwinyanga nje enye yokufumanisa umhlaza, uFrida wayesetafileni yokusebenza. Ugqirha wakhe wasusa icandelo elisezantsi lomphunga wakhe wasekhohlo kwaye ubunzima bonke bakhutshwa ngempumelelo. Kwakungeyomfuneko ukuba aye kwikhemotherapy.Namhlanje, khange abenomhlaza unyaka onesiqingatha.

Kuyamangalisa, kuba bendicinga ukuba ndiza kufa emva kokuva umhlaza, ngakumbi umhlaza wemiphunga. Bendingazi kwanto ngayo. Yayiyimvakalelo embi ngolo hlobo, ”ukhumbula oko uFrida.

Ngaphambi kotyando, umphunga kaFrida wawusebenza nje ngama-50 epesenti yomthamo wawo. Namhlanje, kumthamo weipesenti ezingama-75. Uthi: "Andiva mahluko, ngaphandle kokuba ndenza umsebenzi omninzi," utshilo, nangona ngamanye amaxesha esiba neentlungu ezincinci ezimbanjeni, ezazifuna ukwaphulwa ukuze ugqirha akwazi ukufikelela kubunzima. Uyacacisa: "Ukuba ndiphefumla nzulu, ngamanye amaxesha ndisiva iintlungu.

Umbono omtsha kunye nokuqhuba ukunceda abanye

Ngoku uneminyaka engama-30 ubudala, uFrida uthi umhlaza wemiphunga umnike umbono wakhe omtsha. "Yonke into iyatshintsha. Ndiyaqaphela ukuphuma kwelanga ngakumbi kwaye ndiyalixabisa ngakumbi usapho lwam. Ndijonge ubomi bam bangaphambi komhlaza kwaye ndicinga ngendlela endisebenze nzima ngayo kwaye ndingayeki ukucinga ngezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu, utshilo.

Ukusasaza ulwazi malunga nomhlaza wemiphunga yinto enye entsha ayithatha njengeLung Force Hero.

Ngapha koko, umhlaza wemiphunga ungomnye wabantu ababulala abantu ababhinqileyo. ”

UFrida ujonge ukunceda abantu njengengcali yezonyango ngenye imini. Xa wafunyaniswa ukuba unomhlaza wemiphunga, wayefunda ibhayoloji kwikholeji yasekuhlaleni.

“Ekuqaleni bendiqwalasele unyango lomzimba kuba bendingacingi ukuba ndingaze ndikwazi ukufikelela kwisikolo sobugqirha. Kodwa bendinomcebisi ukuba andibuze: ukuba bendinayo yonke imali emhlabeni, bendiya kufuna ukwenza ntoni? ” Uyakhumbula. "Kwaye kulapho ndaqonda khona, ndifuna ukuba ngugqirha."

Xa wayegula, uFrida wayezibuza ukuba iphupha lakhe liya kuzaliseka na. "Kodwa emva kokusinda kwisifo somhlaza wemiphunga, ndaqhuba ndaza ndazimisela ukugqiba isikolo ndigcine amehlo am kwinjongo," utshilo.
