Inkinobho yokunamathela njalo kumphumelelo wenkanyezi "Yomndeni wamanje"
Esikhathini eside ngaphambi kokuthi abe igama lekhaya njengenkanyezi ye "Umndeni wamanje" we-TV, uSofia Vergara wayephakathi kweqembu labantu abaye bakwazi ukushaya umdlavuza wegciwane . Leli qiniso elingaziwa kakhulu alizange libizwe kabanzi kuze kube ngu-2008 lapho uVergara eqala ukuxoxa ngohambo lwakhe lomdlavuza nezintatheli.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, uVergara uye waba umgqugquzeli okhulumela umdlavuza wegciwane lesandulela ngculazi futhi uye wasiza ukuqwashisa mayelana nokuxilongwa kokuqala kanye nokwelashwa kwesifo.
Igciwane le-Thyroid 101
Umdlavuza we-Thyroid uthinta abantu abangaba ngu-60 000 e-US unyaka ngamunye. Ivela emthonjeni we- thyroid , isilwane esinjenge-butterfly esisekuqaleni kwentamo esakhiwa ama-lobes amabili ngakunye uhlangothi lwe- trachea .
I-thyroid ibophezele ekulawuleni umzimba wethu ngokukhiqiza, ukugcina, nokukhulula ama-hormone ohlelweni lwethu. Lokhu kwenza lokhu ngokuthola i-iodine ekudleni esikudlayo bese siyiguqula ibe amahomoni ethu amabili: i-triiodothyronine (T3) thyroxine (T4).
Ngesikhathi umdlavuza wegciwane usanda kuvame, kubhekwe njengokwelashwa ngamazinga aphezulu okuxolelwa.
I-Vergara ye-Thyroid Cancer Diagnosis
UVergara watholakala ukuthi ngo-2000 eneminyaka engama-28 ngemuva kokuvakashela i- endocrinologist wembula ngokuphathelene nentambo entanyeni yakhe. Isilonda esinobuciko, esaziwa njenge-nodule ye-thyroid, sakhuthaza odokotela ukuba baphenye umdlavuza we -roid.
Ngenkathi ama-nodules amaningi e-thyroid eyaziwa ukuthi ayinhlonipho, i-biopsy ye-Vergara eyanikezwa ubufakazi obucacile bomdlavuza.
Odokotela bakwazi ukwenza kanjalo basebenzisa indlela elula elula ye-biopsy ebizwa ngokuthi i- good-needle aspiration .
Isifiso esihle senaliti singasetshenziswa ehhovisi likadokotela, ngokuvamile esaziwa yi-otolaryngologist. Ngesikhathi se-biopsy, inaliti ende emincane ifakwa emgqonyeni wamasekhondi amahlanu ukuya kweshumi ukukhipha amasampuli amancane amancane.
Iziguli zivame ukunikezwa izifo ezinomzimba zendawo futhi zikwazi ukubuyela ekhaya ngemva kwalokho. Imiphumela ingalindelwa noma yikuphi kusukela ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kuya emavikini amabili, kuye ngokuthi ibha.
I-Vergara's Thyroid Cancer Treatment
Ngemuva kokutholakala kwakhe. UVergara kwadingeka abe ne- thyroidectomy njengenkambo yokuqala yokwelapha. I-thyroidectomy ibhekwa njengenkambo evamile yazo zonke iziguli futhi ihilela ukususwa kokuhlinzwa kwakho konke noma ingxenye yengqungquthela yegciwane.
Ubukhulu be-nodule kanye nanoma yibuphi ubufakazi be- metastasis (ukusakazeka komdlavuza ongaphezu kwegciwane) kusiza ukuthi ngabe ingxenye noma yonke i-thyroid idinga ukususwa. Ngisho noma umdlavuza utholakala kuphela ku-lobe eyodwa, odokotela abaningi basakhuthaza i-thyroidectomy ephelele ukuze unciphise ingozi yokuphindaphindiwe.
Ngokusho kukaVergara, kwakukhona ubufakazi bokuthi umdlavuza ulandela ukuhlinzwa, ngakho kunqunywe ukuthi aqhutshelwa inkambo yokwelapha imishanguzo. Akuyona into engavamile, futhi ukwelashwa (okuthiwa i-radioactive iodine therapy), kubhekwa njengendlela ephumelela kakhulu yokuqeda amangqamuzana omdlavuza omisiwe.
Ukwelapha ngokwayo kuhilela ukuthatha iphilisi equkethe iodine e-radioactive eyangena emangqamuzaneni omdlavuza, ebulala. Inqubo idinga ukuzihlukanisa izinsuku ezimbalwa njengoba umuntu engakwazi ukukhipha amandla asebenzayo.
Ukuzihlukanisa kungenziwa ekhaya noma esibhedlela, kuye ngokuthi izivumelwano zempilo kanye nemithetho kamasipala, yezwe, kanye neyomthetho.
I-Vergara's Post-Cancer Advocacy
Ukulandela isibonakaliso esicacile ngo-2001, uVergara uye wahlala engenamdlavuza. Uyaqhubeka nokuqapha ngezikhathi zokuhlolwa kwegazi njalo ezinyangeni ezintathu kuya kweziyisithupha bese ethatha iphiloni yansuku zonke ukuze alondoloze umsebenzi ovamile we-thyroid.
Kusukela ngo-2013, uVergara uye wakhonza njengomkhankaso womkhankaso othi "Landela iSkripthi", isinyathelo sokuthuthukisa amandla kazwelonke esenzelwe ukusiza abantu ukuba baqaphele ngokubaluleka kokuxilongwa nokuphatha i-hypothyroidism .
