Izizathu Eziyisikhombisa Ukubhekana Nomdlavuza We-Lung Kungaba nzima kunomdlavuza webele

Ingabe kunzima owesifazane (noma umuntu) ukubhekana nomdlavuza wamaphaphu kunokubhekana nomdlavuza webele?

Ngokuqinisekile, lo mbuzo awufanele-kunzima ukubhekana nanoma yiluphi uhlobo lomdlavuza, futhi abanye abantu abanomdlavuza wesifuba babhekene nenselela enkulu kunezinye abantu ababhekene nomdlavuza wamaphaphu. Noma kunjalo ngiye ngabona futhi ngibona into evela endaweni ehlukile njengenhlanganisela yesifo somdlavuza / isifo somdlavuza nesifo somdlavuza nesifo somdlavuza esidinga ukwenziwa ngezwi.

Ngithemba ukuthi ukuhlanganyela ukungalingani engikuqaphele ukuhlala phakathi kombili umdlavuza webele kanye nemiphakathi yomdlavuza wamaphaphu kuzofeza izinto ezimbalwa. Okokuqala, ukuthi ukufakaza lezi zohlukaniso kuzokuphakamisa ukuqwashisa okuzosiza umndeni nabangane, ochwepheshe bezokwelapha kanye nomphakathi ukubona izinselele eziyingqayizivele nezinhlungu ezibuhlungu ababhekana nomdlavuza wamaphaphu. Okwesibili, ukuthi labo abaphila nomdlavuza wamaphaphu bayokwazi ukuthi sebezwile futhi bazizwa bebodwa. Siyaqonda ukuthi kungani igumbi eligcwele pink linganciphisa othile ukukhala.

Kodwa ngaphambi kokubhalisa ezinye zalezi zingxabano, ngifuna wonke umuntu abone ubuso obuqotho bomdlavuza wamaphaphu. Omunye nomdlavuza wamaphaphu kungaba ngumama wakho noma udadewabo, umshana wakho noma indodakazi yakho. Noma ubani onamaphaphu angathola umdlavuza wamaphaphu.

Umdlavuza wegciwane awuyona "isifo sobhemayo" futhi empeleni, iningi labantu abathintekayo abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu namuhla abangabhemi (mhlawumbe ababhemayo noma ababhemayo). Ngokuqinisekile, ukubhema kunomthelela ezimweni eziningi zomdlavuza wamaphaphu, njengoba nokudla okuncane nokuntuleka kokuzivocavoca kunomthelela kwamanye amagciwane. E-United States, abesifazane abangamaphesenti angu-20 abakha umdlavuza wamaphaphu abakaze babhema ugwayi owodwa, futhi empeleni, umdlavuza wamaphaphu phakathi kwabesifazane abasha, abasoze bebhema banda. Emhlabeni wonke, amaphesenti angu-50 abesifazane abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu akakaze abhema.

Thatha isikhashana ngaphambi kokufunda ukuze uzifanele wena ezinkingeni ezimbalwa. Okokuqala, njengomuntu ongazange aphume kodwa kuthiwa unomdlavuza wamaphaphu. Uzizwa kanjani? Abantu bathini kuwe? Khona-ke, zibonise njengomuntu onomdlavuza webele (lapho ukukhuluphala kuyisici esingozini). Ingabe abantu banakekele, noma into yokuqala bathi, "Bekuyisikhathi esingakanani ukhulula?" Zibone wena njengowesifazane noma umuntu onomdlavuza wekoloni (okuyinto into engozini yokuhlala). Abantu baphendula kanjani? Ingabe bayakunikeza ukubukeka kwehlisa phansi futhi bakubuze, "Awusifisi ukuthi usukile ukuyeka ukuhlala phansi?" Zama ukugcina ingqondo evulekile njengoba ucabanga ngamakhasi alandelayo. Kungenzeka ukuthi nguwe ozoletha ithemba kumuntu olandelayo ohlangana nomdlavuza wamaphaphu.

Isizathu 1: I-Stigma ye-Cancer Lung

Isithombe sezindlela yindlela engcono kakhulu yokuchaza inhlamba yomdlavuza wamaphaphu . Iyiphi into yokuqala abantu abaningi abakushoyo lapho bezwa othile enomdlavuza wamaphaphu? "Ingabe wayebhema?" Noma mhlawumbe enye yezinye izinto ezihlukahlukene engizizwile ezifana nokuthi, "Bengingazi ukuthi u-Aunt Karen wayengumuntu obhemayo," noma "Kumele azisole ukuthi akayekanga leso simkhuba ngokushesha."

Akuyona nje umphakathi ongasifundanga. Esikhathini esithile esidlule ngangihlezi nomngani ngenkathi ngiya enkomfeni yomdlavuza eNew York City. Omunye umngane wami-isifo sengqondo somuntu onobuchopho kanye nomuntu osindile umdlavuza webele wesifuba-wahamba waya kithi esitolo sokudlela. Ngethula umngane wami wezifo zengqondo kumngane engangidla naye, owesifazane oneminyaka engu-30 ubudala ohlala nomdlavuza wamaphaphu. Njengoba ngiyitholile uthando lomzwelo nomngane wami womqondo wengqondo, ngashaqeka lapho umngane wami ephendukela kumngane wami wesifo somdlavuza wamaphaphu futhi ngokushesha wambuza ukuthi "ushubile isikhathi esingakanani?" Angikhumbuli ingxoxo ngemva kwalowo phuzu, ngaphandle kokuphinde ngiqaphele ukuthi ngidinga ukwenza okuthile ukuze nginciphise ithuba lokuthi le ngxoxo izokwenzeka phakathi kwabanye abantu ngezinye izikhathi nakwezinye izindawo. Ngahamba ngizolala izinyembezi kubo bobabili labahlobo ngalobobusuku-okunye okulukhuni kangakanani ukubhekana nomhlobo wakhe womdlavuza, kanti enye ngokungazi kwakhe (futhi ukwazi, ngokufanayo nomuntu, ukuthi kufanele ngibonise ukungazi okulimazayo ezinye izilungiselelo engingazazi).

Enye ingxoxo enganginayo nodokotela esikanye naye yembula futhi ukuthi inhlamba isakazeke kangakanani. Lapho ngiya emcimbini womdlavuza wamaphaphu, ngangihlezi eceleni komunye udokotela. Ngemuva kokuzethula thina, ngalesikhathi udokotela othile ezwa injabulo yami mayelana nomcimbi owakushoyo, "Ngithemba ukuthi utshele labo bantu ukuthi bangabhemi." Kwase kuyisikhathi semfundo encane, ingxoxo eyashiya le ndoda isikhumba esincane sokuqala izingxoxo endizeni yakhe elandelayo, kodwa okwakudingeka kakhulu. Washaqeka lapho ezwa ukuthi iningi labantu labangabhemi ngesikhathi sesifo somdlavuza wamaphaphu, futhi emangalisa nakakhulu ukubona ukuthi izinyanga ezingu-5 zilandela ukuxilongwa, kuphela amaphesenti angu-14 abantu abane-smoke yomdlavuza wamaphaphu.

Inhlamba idlulela ngaphezu kokubhema, noma kunjalo, kwisifo ngokwayo. Umdlavuza wegciwane awunayo nje inhlamba yokuba yisifo sobhemayo kodwa ukuthi cishe wonke umuntu uyafa. Abantu abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu bangalindeli ukuphawula okufana nokuthi "Uze uboya isikhathi esingakanani" kodwa amazwi athi "umalume wayenomdlavuza wamaphaphu futhi wafa ezinyangeni ezimbalwa nje."

Akuwona nje ukulimaza amazwi namazwana kubangela ubuhlungu obungokomzwelo, kepha ukucwasa komdlavuza wamaphaphu kungathinta ukusinda. Ucwaningo luye lwathola ukuthi iziguli zomdlavuza wamaphaphu zincane kakhulu kuneziguli zomdlavuza webele ukuze zihanjiswe ezikwelapha ezingase zandise isikhathi sokuphila.

Inhlamba ihluke kanjani kwabesifazane (futhi amadoda kusukela amadoda angathola umdlavuza webele) futhi nomdlavuza wesifuba? Angikhumbuli ukuthi ubani owangicela ukuthi ngabe ngabe ngidlulele kakhulu esikhathini esedlule bese ngidla (ngangingekho). Angikhumbuli ukuthi ubani omele ukuthi ngifanele ukuqala ukuba nengane ngesikhathi esincane, noma ukuthi kufanele nginezingane eziningi. Ngangingenabo abangane abangibheka ngamabhodlela ami ngifuna ama-carcinogens angaba khona. Akekho ongangibuza ukuthi ngabe ngisetshenziswa yini amaphilisi okuvimbela ukubeletha noma imithi yokuzala. Empeleni, akekho ophendulayo ekuxilongweni kwami ​​ngemibuzo mayelana nombangela, kodwa nje ngabantu abanakekelayo abanesifiso sokusiza.

Abantu abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu akudingi ukuba sibe izifo ze-epidemiologists ekuhloleni izimbangela zomdlavuza Bane nje badinga uthando lwethu, ukusekelwa kwethu nokukhuthazwa, futhi ukunakekelwa okungcono kakhulu kwezokwelapha okungenzeka. Hlola le mibono kulokho ongakusho kumuntu onomdlavuza wamaphaphu . Futhi kulabo abaphila nomdlavuza wamaphaphu, nansi eminye imibono yokubhekana nokuphawula okungenakuqondakala ngesikhathi sokwelapha umdlavuza wamaphaphu .

Isizathu 2-Kukhona Ukusekelwa Okuncane Nge-Cancer Lung

Ngake ngibhala ibhulogi ekhuluma ngomsindo phakathi kwenani labasekeli besifo somdlavuza webele nangesifo somdlavuza wamaphaphu, nesidingo esikhulu sokwesekwa komdlavuza wamaphaphu. Omunye umuntu osinde umdlavuza wamabele wathi, "Uma abantu abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu bekhuphukela epulatifeni njengabahlengikazi besifo somdlavuza besifuba bayothola ukusekelwa okuningi. Uma abesifazane abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu bebanjwe ndawonye njengalabo besifo somdlavuza webele, t kube yinkinga. " Njengoba ngizizwa ngihlazekile ukuba phakathi kweqembu elithile labalondolozwe umdlavuza webele, ngabuye ngaphendula: "Ukuhamba nokugijima noma ngisho nokuhlangana nomdlavuza wamaphaphu kudingeka ube namapayipi futhi udinga ukuphila."

Ngisho ngaphandle kokuhlambalaza, kunabantu abambalwa abasengozini yomdlavuza wamaphaphu abakuzungezile. Kusukela ngoJanuwari 1, 2014 phakathi kwabesifazane kwakukhona abantu abangu-3 951 930 ababelethwe umdlavuza wesifuba e-United States ngokumelene nabasindile bomdlavuza wesifazane wamapayipi angama-289,400 kuphela. Kuwo wonke umuntu owasinda umdlavuza wesifazane e-United States ngalowo nyaka, amaphesenti angu-40 ayengabesifo somdlavuza webele.

Kusho ukuthini lokhu? Labo abanamaphaphu enempilo ngaphandle komdlavuza wamaphaphu kudingeka badlule, futhi banethemba lokuthi abasindile bomdlavuza webele bazojoyina iqembu lethu elincane lomdlavuza webele osinda emdlalweni we-lung cancer. Ngokufanayo, sekuyisikhathi sokuqala ukuqaphela abantu abanezinhlobo zomdlavuza.

Lokhu ukungalingani ekusekeleni kuthinta kanjani abantu abaphila nomdlavuza wamaphaphu? Ngezibhamu ezibomvu ezihlobisa konke kusuka kumaphepha okungasese kuya kubacwaningi bokudla, kungaba yedwa ukuba baphile ngamanqamu ngaphandle kwesifo somdlavuza webele. Kunezinsiza ezimbalwa futhi zisekela abantu abaseduze nalabo abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu.

Singayishintsha kanjani lokhu? Uma uhlala nomdlavuza wamaphaphu, xhuma nenye yezinhlangano zomdlavuza wamaphaphu ezifana neLUNGevity noma i-Lung Cancer Alliance, kanye / noma ujoyine umphakathi wokusekela umdlavuza wamaphaphu . Ngikhulume nabantu abaningi emhlanganweni njengemhlangano ye-LUNGevity Hope abaye babona abasindile bomdlavuza wabo bomdlavuza njengomndeni. Uma ungesona umdlavuza osindile, xhuma nenye yalezi zinhlangano njengommeli. Uma unomdlavuza wesibeletho sebele, bona ukuthi awukho indlela yokusakaza futhi wabelane ngenhlanhla yakho yokusekela ngokukhululekile.

Cabanga ngezindlela zokudala ukusekela abantu abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu. Ngesinye sezikhathi zami zokwelashwa kwamakhemikhali, nginezinqola eziyisihlanu ezihlukene zezisebenzi zokuzithandela zomdlavuza webele, unginikeza konke kusuka ekuhlobheni ukugqoka. Ngikhuluma nomhlengikazi wami wokungeniswa, futhi lapho kuqala iseshini sami esilandelayo, sasinecebo. Umhlengikazi wami wathola umdlavuza we-lung wamaphaphu owathola i-chemo ngesikhathi esifanayo, futhi njengamavolontiya ayeka, sacela ukuba banikeze ukusekelwa kwabasindile emdlavuza wamaphaphu esikhundleni salokho. Ngenxa yemfihlo, ngangingazi ukuthi bangobani laba bantu, kodwa umhlengikazi wami wabonga indlela abathokozelayo ngayo abesekela ngayo, njengoba esho ukuthi abasindile emdlalweni wamaphaphu abanamaphaphu abanakho ukuvakashela.

Isizathu sesi-3-Isilinganiso sokusinda singaphansi komdlavuza we-Lung

Njengombana kungadluliselwa kwesilayidi sokugcina ngokuqhathanisa inani lomdlavuza wamaphaphu nabasindile bomdlavuza webele, kunomthelela omkhulu ekutheni izinga lokusinda kwezifo ezimbili likhona. Isilinganiso seminyaka emihlanu yokusinda komdlavuza webele sinamaphesenti angu-89; umdlavuza wamaphaphu, lokhu kwavele kwavuka kuma-17 amaphesenti.

Kungani lokhu umehluko wokusinda kangaka omkhulu kangaka? Kunezizathu eziningana, kodwa akusho ukuthi umdlavuza wamaphaphu kunzima ukwelapha kunomdlavuza webele.

Esinye isizathu ukuthi umdlavuza wamaphaphu uvame ukutholakala ngezigaba zesifo (okungenani kancane ngenxa yokungabi nalutho ithuluzi lokuhlola eliphumelelayo). Izinga lokusinda ngezigaba ezahlukene zomdlavuza wamaphaphu lihluke kakhulu , kanti isilinganiso seminyaka engu-5 esisinda esigabeni sesine sokuba ngamaphesenti angama-45-50 futhi kusukela esiteji 4 sibe cishe amaphesenti angu-1.

Esinye isizathu ukuntuleka kocwaningo ngenxa yezimali ezingaphansi; ukuntuleka kwezimali okuye kwavela ekuhlaleni nasekuseni kokuqwashisa.

Akusho ukuthi izimali zangasese zomdlavuza webele zinkulu kunalokho kumdlavuza wamaphaphu. Iningi labantu lijwayele inhlangano uSusan G. Koman oye wakhulisa u-2.8 billion umdlavuza wesifuba, kodwa igama lezinhlangano ezihloselwe umdlavuza wamaphaphu akuzona ezilimini zabantu abaningi. Nginikezwe i-pink lemonade ukusekela ucwaningo lwesifo somdlavuza webele wezinyosi ezindizeni ezihamba phambili, kodwa angalokothi kube ne-white sprite. Ngibhekile abadlali bebhola ngo-pink, kodwa kuphela esikhathini esedlule, ngenxa kaChris Draft neThimba le-Draft Family Foundation, ngibone izithwala zezingulube zinikeza ukwesekwa komdlavuza wamaphaphu.

I-American Cancer Society ukubuyekezwa kwezibonelelo zamanje njengangomhla ka-Agasti 1, 2015, ithola izibonelelo ezingu-198 zomdlavuza wesifuba ngemali eyizigidi eziyizigidi ezingu-110,303,170 eziphathelene nezibonelelo ezingu-97 zocwaningo lwemdlavuza wamaphaphu ezingama $ 51,237,624.

Ukusetshenziswa kwezimali kuhulumeni kuncane kakhulu kumdlavuza wamaphaphu kunomdlavuza wesifuba. Ngonyaka wezi-2012, ukuxhaswa komfelandawonye wesifo somdlavuza wesifuba kwafinyelela ku-$ 26,398 ngempilo ngayinye elahlekile, ngokulinganiselwa ku $ 1,442 kuphela yomdlavuza wamaphaphu.

Ukuntuleka kocwaningo kanye nokuxhaswa ngezimali akuthinti amazinga kuphela okusinda kodwa izinga lokuphila kulabo abaphila nomdlavuza. Ucwaningo oluningi mayelana nezinkinga zokusinda ezivela ekubhekaneni nokwesaba ukuphindaphindiwe noma ukuqhubekela phambili ekwenzeni inqubo ye-yoga ekwelapheni komdlavuza kwenziwe nabantu abanekhansholo yebele.

Ngivame ukubuza ukuthi izinga lokusinda liyoba ngumdlavuza wamaphaphu uma inani elifanayo lokucwaninga ekuhlolweni kanye nokwelashwa kwenzelwe umdlavuza wamaphaphu njengoba kwenziwe ngomdlavuza webele.

Isizathu Sokuqwashisa Okungenani 4 Ngezizathu

Uma ebuzwa ukuthi yini ebangelwa umdlavuza wamaphaphu, abantu abaningi bangasho ngokushesha ukuthi babhema. Kodwa yiziphi izimbangela zamaphesenti angu-20 asebesifazane e-United States nabesifazane abangama-50% emhlabeni wonke abangapheli kuze kube phakade?

Uma ngitshela ukuthi sazi ukuhlolwa okulula, kulandelwa inkambiso encane uma kudingekile, lokho kungabhubhisa amaphesenti angu-50 okufa komdlavuza wesifu njalo ngonyaka e-United States, nginesiqiniseko sokuthi ngabe ngabe wenze isivivinyo, noma okungenani unayo ohlwini lwakho lokukwenza. Uma ngikutshele ukuthi ukuhlolwa kungadla okungenani ama-dollar angu-10 futhi ungayenza kuma-pajama wakho (kulula kune-mammogram) futhi uma ukuhlolwa kwakungavamile kunamathuba angama-100% okuqeda unomphela lesi sici somdlavuza, kahle. Uma sinezivivinyo ezinjengalezi futhi ungakaze uzizwe, ama-theorists abanobudlova phakathi kwakho ayezohamba.

Qagela? Kukhona ukuhlolwa okulula (okulandelwa ukwelashwa okubiza imali engaphansi kuka-dollar ayizinkulungwane kulabo abanemiphumela emibi) engakwazi ukuqeda le nombolo yokufa komdlavuza nangaphezulu njalo ngonyaka.

Ngo-2015 kulindeleke ukuthi abesifazane abangaba ngu-40,290 bazofa ngomdlavuza webele. Kuphinde kulindeleke ukuthi abantu abangu-21 000 bafe ngenxa yomdlavuza wamaphaphu obangelwa i-radon ( imbangela ehamba phambili yomdlavuza wamaphaphu kwabangewona abhema. ) Ukuhlolwa kungabiza okungenani u-$ 10 esitolo sakho sehadi le-hardware, futhi izifunda eziningi zinikeza ukuhlolwa kwamahhala ngenyanga kaJanuwari (inyanga yokuqwashisa nge-radon.

Khumbula ukuthi amazinga e-radon aphakanyisiwe atholakale emakhaya kuwo wonke amazwe angu-50 nasemhlabeni jikelele. I-Radon igesi elingenakubala, elingenangenwa, futhi indlela kuphela yokukwazi ukuthi ikhaya lakho lithintekile ukuhlola ikhaya lakho nge-radon . Yize ezinye izindawo zezwe zinamazinga aphezulu e-radon kunabanye, usadinga ukuhlola. Icala ngephutha yikhaya lethu. Ngonyaka ka-2013 sithengise ikhaya lethu elidala elinesilinganiso se-radon ngaphansi kwe-0.03. Ukuthenga ikhaya elingamamitha ama-2 ukusuka kude, sicele izinga le-radon lihlolwe kanye nokuhlolwa. (Qaphela: ezinye izindawo lokhu kuyadingeka kanti abanye akusikho.) Izinga libuyiselwe, futhi kulula ukuchaza lokhu ngokwemigomo yengozi eqondile kunokuba nje inombolo lapha. Amakamelo aphansi ayenamazinga afana nokubhema 5 amaphakheji kagwayi ngosuku. Izinhliziyo zethu zaphumela kubanikazi bendlu yangaphambilini-hhayi ukuthi kwakudingeka bakhokhele ukunciphisa i-radon okuyizigidi ezilinganiselwa ku-$ 1200, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi izingane zabo zazivelele kula mazinga kusukela ebuntwaneni babo.

Sidinga ukuqwashisa mayelana ne-radon nezinye izimbangela ezizwakalayo zomdlavuza wamaphaphu njengokungcola komoya kanye nezimbangela zemisebenzi yomdlavuza wamaphaphu . Izinhlelo zokuqeda ukubhema zikhulu, kodwa ngeke zenze into yokunciphisa umdlavuza wamaphaphu obangelwa i-radon. Nakuba zingasindisa izimpilo, lezi zinqamuleli zokuyeka ukubhema zenza umphakathi ube nomqondo ongamanga wokuphepha ngenxa eyodwa yezinkondlo ezinkulu zomdlavuza wamaphaphu ; ungakwazi ukuvimbela umdlavuza wamaphaphu ngokungafaki.

Isizathu 5-Awunakukwazi Ukwelashwa Ngokuvuselela I-Cancer Cancer

Ngesikhathi futhi, noma imuphi umdlavuza omubi, abesifazane abanomdlavuza wesifuba banokukhetha ukuthi labo abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu abanayo.

Abantu abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu abanakho ukhetho lokuhlinzwa kabusha. Ngiyakwazi ukukhuluma nge- mastectomy yami kanye nokuvuselelwa kwamanye amazwe , kodwa angikaze ngizwe umngane onenkhulumomdlavuza yomdlavuza mayelana nokususwa kwamaphaphu akhethekile kanye nokwakhiwa kabusha. Ngingasho ukuthi nginenketho yokwandisa noma ukunciphisa ubukhulu bami besibindi, kepha abangane bami nomdlavuza wamaphaphu abakwazi ukukhetha amavolumu abo emva kwemithi.

Ngokuqinisekile ukuvuselelwa akuyona ipikinikini, futhi mina ngokwami ​​angikholelwa ukuthi ihlukumeza ngempela ukuhlukunyezwa kokwelashwa kunoma yikuphi izinga. Umehluko nje ukuthi kukhona okukhethwa kukho-into yokuqondisa ukugxila kwethu ngisho nangomzuzwana nje-ongatholakali kulabo abaphila nomdlavuza wamaphaphu.

Isizathu Soku-6-Ukungabi Nesivivinyo Sokuhlola Ukuhlola Wonke umuntu

Umdlavuza we-Lung uyanzima ukubona ezinkathini zakuqala kunomdlavuza wamaphaphu ngezizathu ezimbalwa:

Awukwazi ukwenza izivivinyo zobuzipho uma ugeza, ubheka esibukweni, noma ulahleke ngephutha ngephutha lamaphaphu njengoba ululaza izingubo zakho. Ngokuqinisekile, abantu abaningi banezibonakaliso ezibaqaphelisa ukuba khona komdlavuza wamaphaphu, kodwa lokhu kungase kwenzeke kuze kube yilapho umdlavuza wamaphaphu usakazeke.

Akukhona ukuhlolwa kokuhlolwa komdlavuza wamaphaphu okutholakala kuwo wonke umuntu njengoba kunomdlavuza webele. Yiqiniso, ukuhlola i-mammography akuyona into ephelele, kodwa ucwaningo luye lwaholela kwezinye izinketho, njengokusetshenziswa kwezivivinyo ze-MRI ukuvula abantu engozini enkulu yokuthuthukisa lesi sifo.

Ukuhlola okuwukuphela kwamanje okutholakala ekuhlolweni komdlavuza wamaphaphu kuyisimo esincane se-CT sokuhlola. Esikhathini esidlule esifubeni se-x-ray kwakuvame ukuphakanyiswa kubantu abasengozini, kepha sekutholiwe ukuthi ukuhlola lokhu akulondolozi izimpilo. Akuvamile ukubona umdlavuza wamaphaphu ngesikhathi esanele ngokwanele ukwenza umehluko ekusindeni. Ukuhlolwa okuphansi kwe-CT ukuhlolwa komdlavuza wamaphaphu nakho kunqunyelwe . Njengamanje kunconywa kubantu abaneminyaka engama-55 no-80 ubudala, ababhemayo okungenani iminyaka engu- 30 yepakethe , futhi baqhubeka bebhema noma bayeke eminyakeni engu-15 edlule. Lezi ziqondiso, kepha ukuhlola ezinye izinto ezibeka ingozi kumdlavuza wamaphaphu , wena nodokotela wakho ungabheka ukuhlolwa ngaphandle kwale mihlahlandlela. Ngeshwa, lokhu akuyona inketho yabasha, ungalokothi ubheme abesifazane-iqembu lapho umdlavuza wamaphaphu ukhula khona kakhulu.

Okuncane okungaziwa ngokuhlolwa kofuzo lomdlavuza wamaphaphu kunomdlavuza wesifuba. Njengomdlavuza wesifuba, kunabantu abathile ababelethwe umdlavuza wamaphaphu ngenxa yomlando womndeni . Sizwa okuningi mayelana ne-BRCA1 ne-BRCA2 yezinguquko zegenesis bese ukhuluma ukuthi ngubani okufanele ahlolwe. (Izinguquko ze-BRCA2 zitholakala cishe ngamaphesenti angu-2 wabantu baseYurophu okhokho.) Ucwaningo oluncane lwenziwe, kodwa manje sesiyazi ukuthi abesifazane abathwala ukuguqulwa kwezakhi zofuzo ze-BRCA2 abanomthelela owengeziwe wokuthuthukisa ukwelashwa kwebele kanye ne-ovarian kodwa abesifazane ababhema futhi ube nokuguquguquka kwe-BRCA2 kabili amathuba okuthuthukisa umdlavuza wamaphaphu .

Isizathu Somshuwalense We-7-Lung Isifo Esivame Ukutholakala Ngezigaba Ezizayo

Ukungabi nokuhlolwa kokuhlolwa kwabantu bonke (futhi bengakwazi "ukuzwa" amaphaphu akho), kanye nokuntuleka kokuqaphela izimpawu zokuqala zomdlavuza wamaphaphu, kusho ukuthi umdlavuza wamaphaphu uvame ukutholakala ngezigaba kamuva zesifo kunokuba umdlavuza webele.

Yiziphi abantu abaningi abangaziqapheli, ukuthi lowo mdlavuza wamaphaphu ngenxa yezimbangela ngaphandle kokubhema uvame ukutholakala uma uphezulu kakhulu kunamangqamuzana e-lungs ahlobene nokubhema. Esikhathini esedlule, ukwelashwa okunjengomdlavuza omncane wamangqamuzana wamaphaphu kanye nomdlavuza we-squamous non-encane wamaphaphu-umdlavuza ohlobene kakhulu ngokubhema-wawuvame kakhulu. Lezi zomshukela zenzeka kaningi emigwaqweni emikhulu (indawo yokuqala yokubhema ugwayi) futhi ijwayele ukuba nezimpawu ngaphambili, njengokukhwehlela igazi, ukukhwehlela okuqhubekayo nokuvimbela umoya.

Manje, i- lung adenocarcinoma (uhlobo lomdlavuza ongasona omncane wesifo samaphaphu) uhlobo olujwayelekile kakhulu lomdlavuza wamaphaphu. Lona uhlobo oluvame kakhulu lomdlavuza wamaphaphu olutholakala kwabangabokubhema, abesifazane nabasemusha abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu, futhi bavame ukuba khona ezindaweni ezingaphandle zamapayipi (i-periphery). Ngenxa yendawo yayo, ngokuvamile ayitholakali kuze kube yilapho abantu benempawu zomdlavuza ophuthumayo, njengokusindiswa kwesisindo, ukuphefumula, nokukhathala.

Isizathu 8-I-Ribbon Cancer Ribbon ingabonakali

Uma ngabe ngingababuza abantu abayi-100 ukuthi umbala we-ribbon yesifuba sesifuba unjani, angeke kusimangaze uma bonke abangu-100 beyazi ukuthi impendulo iyin pink. Kodwa uma bekufanele ubuze iqembu elifanayo, " umbala womdlavuza wamaphaphu ?" Kungenzeka ukuthi izimpendulo ezingalungile zizobe zingaphezulu kakhulu.

Akukona kuphela umdlavuza omhlophe noma weperephu we-lung webhebhoni owaziwa kakhulu kunomdlavuza webele wesifuba, kodwa ngokomfanekiso, abantu abaningi abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu bazizwa bengabonakali.

Isizathu salokhu sifinyelela ezihlokweni ezishiwo ekuqaleni-ukuntuleka kokuqwashisa, ukungabi nesekelo, nokuhlambalaza-kodwa ngamunye wethu angenza umehluko. Nginomkhuba wokugqoka izibhamu ezimhlophe uma ngiphuma futhi ngiyavuma futhi ngamukela abantu ithuba lokubuza imibuzo. Futhi bayakwenza. Kuyithuba elihle lokuthi "yebo, ngingumdlavuza webele wesifuba, kodwa ngiphakamisa abantu abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu," bese ulandela ngamaqiniso abalulekile wonke umuntu kufanele azi. Isibonelo, ukuthi kunabesifazane abaningi abangabhemi (abasoze bebhema nabokuqala ukubhema) abafa ngomdlavuza wamaphaphu unyaka ngamunye kunabesifazane (abangewona abhema futhi ababhemayo ngokufanayo) abafa ngesifo somdlavuza webele, ngisho noma umuntu ephila njalo ababhema kakhulu, badinga uthando nobubele. Ngiyavuma ukuthi njengomuntu osindile ngimbonga ngokubonga konke ukuqwashisa, ucwaningo, kanye nezimali ezungeze umdlavuza webele, kodwa yisikhathi somdlavuza wamaphaphu ukunikezwa okufanayo.

Ngiyazi ukuthi akubona nje abantu abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu abazwa sengathi basendaweni elwandle olwandle. Uyazi imibala kanye nencazelo yamanye amathribhoni omdlavuza ?

Ngezinkinga zemali zomdlavuza, phezu kwemithwalo yemfanelo yokuba ngumzali, sivame ukuzinikela isikhathi esithile samahhala nemali esinayo kwabanye. Lezi "mahhala" (azikho mahhala kodwa kunalokho zinikezwa ngeminikelo enomusa kakhulu kubantu abathandwayo) akuyona nje indlela yokuhlonipha labo abanobhekene nomdlavuza, kodwa indlela yokukhumbuza abantu ukuthi ibalulekile ngezindlela ezihamba ngaphesheya kwelebhu yakamuva ukuhlolwa nemisebenzi yansuku zonke.
