تشخيص سرطان الثدي

أنا أنافي جوتيريز، عمري 48 عامًا سرطان الثدي survivor. In 2007, I found out that I had a lump on my left breast, but I never told it to anyone, even my family, for ten years. In 2018, I started having excruciating back pain, and even painkillers could not relieve me of the problem. And when I told my family about it, we went to the doctor immediately. So, I decided to consult my family doctor, who examined me thoroughly. After the Breast Cancer screening tests, we finally discovered that I had stage 4 Breast Cancer and bone and lung metastasis. My family and I were all shocked after my doctor informed us of the scary disease. But even though my family cried a lot after listening to the news, I mustered up my courage to be strong enough. I bolstered myself to be emotionally balanced because I knew that I would have to fight this disease with all my strength. There was no way for me to break down at this moment! I was headed for a long journey ahead, and so I had to be mentally prepared.

علاج سرطان الثدي

يتبع العلاج دائمًا التشخيص، وبعد فترة وجيزة من تشخيص سرطان الثدي، وصلت إلى المرحلة الرابعة علاج سرطان الثدي began. I had to undergo a total of six cycles of chemotherapy. The processes were then followed by twenty-one days of العلاج الإشعاعي. Although I did have a hair fall, which is one of the side effects of Chemotherapy for breast cancer, I did not have any other side effects from the treatments. I believe that it is because I have a robust immune system. In my case, going under the knife was not a necessity, and I thank God for not letting me go through the pain of Breast Cancer removal Surgery. I understand how painful that can be, and I am utterly grateful to God for helping me always. Currently, I am undergoing maintenance therapy that requires me to take oral Chemotherapy drugs for Breast Cancer.

علاجات السرطان المختلفة مثل العلاج الكيميائي وينجح العلاج الإشعاعي في التأثير على جسم المريض. لذلك، أحاول البقاء في الداخل قدر الإمكان. أنا لا أخرج إلا عندما يكون ذلك إلزاميا. على سبيل المثال، أحتاج لزيارة المستشفيات والمختبرات المرضية لإجراء اختبارات الدم الخاصة بسرطان الثدي مرة كل أسبوعين. لدي أيضًا جدول زمني لإجراء الأشعة المقطعية مرة واحدة كل ثلاثة أشهر. كل ستة أشهر، أحتاج إلى إجراء فحص لعظامي. أحتاج أيضًا إلى زيارة أطبائي مرة واحدة على الأقل شهريًا لإجراء الفحوصات الشهرية. هذه هي الأنشطة التي تتطلب مني الخروج بشكل إلزامي.

I am blessed with family, friends, and doctors who have never failed to provide me with robust support. My Breast Cancer doctor advised me to live my life like a normal human being and enjoy it to the fullest. Every time I visit my doctor, he makes me happy, and I firmly believe that I recovered with ease due to his efforts. The journey of defeating Breast Cancer also takes a toll on your mental health. Strong support from your doctors and near and dear ones is what keeps you going. But I also firmly believe that one must keep on trying as it is the only way to get through this painful hardship.

لدي إيمان قوي بالله منذ أن كنت طفلاً صغيرًا. أعتقد أن الله هو من يبقى معنا بعزم حتى في أصعب اللحظات في حياتنا. إن الله يعتني بك كلما دعت الحاجة. لم أفشل أبدًا في تقديم صلاتي إلى الله سبحانه وتعالى ، وأعتقد أن هذا جعلني أنمو بشكل أكبر من ذي قبل وساعدني طوال فترة علاجي لسرطان الثدي.

حياتي بعد السرطان

The journey of battling 4th stage Breast Cancer has the potential to completely change your life forever and the way you perceive your thoughts. I think that, after fighting breast cancer, life will never be the same again. It will have its pros and cons. You will have a very different approach to life. On the one hand, life after cancer will seem to be more beautiful than before. You will have to make sure that you take extra care of your mind, body, and soul.

كانت الحياة مختلفة جدًا قبل تشخيص إصابتي بسرطان الثدي. في وقت سابق ، كان لدي حرية الخروج والاستمتاع بكل شيء دون قلق كبير. لكن لا يمكنني فعل ذلك بحرية بعد الآن. لقد جعلتني رحلة السرطان أكثر حساسية ، ولذلك أحتاج إلى اتخاذ الاحتياطات المناسبة في كل مرة أخرج فيها أو أفعل أي شيء. أحتاج دائمًا إلى الاهتمام بنفسي بشكل إضافي حتى لا يحصل سرطان الثدي على فرصة للانتكاس لأن فرص تكرار الإصابة بسرطان الثدي شائعة. خاصة في خضم جائحة COVID-19 ، يجب على مريض سرطان الثدي أو الناجية أن يأخذوا عناية إضافية لأنه أمر بالغ الأهمية الآن.

Sadly, some of my close friends left my side after my Breast Cancer diagnosis. But then, I happened to come in contact with many cancer patients during my cancer journey. They have now become my new friends, and as all my friends do, we now tirelessly support each other. We also openly share our feelings.

This experience of the battle against Breast Cancer taught me a few lessons too. It taught me to have faith in God. It has made my thoughts more positive. I now believe that if you have a positive mind with complementary views, then nothing can ever go wrong. Your positivity will make sure that everything is alright.

بعض الدروس التي تعلمتها

It was by God's grace that I found the right doctor. My doctor was a constant source of support for me. He always cleared my doubts by explaining everything to me very clearly. I believe that you must keep on fighting, and God will take care of the rest.

I feel that the presence of gratitude in your life is of the utmost importance as well. It can change the way you look at things and make you more positive. So, I am grateful to God, my family, friends, doctors, nurses, and all the people around me who have showered me with their constant love and support throughout my Breast Cancer journey. I am incredibly grateful to them for all their efforts to help me remain happy.

رسالة فراق

ثقي دائمًا في الله واستمري في القتال لأن هناك بالتأكيد حياة بعد سرطان الثدي. رحلة السرطان لا تنهي حياتك أو سعادتك. تذكر أن السرطان ليس نهاية قصتك. بدلاً من ذلك ، إنها بداية جديدة لك. لا تنسى أن تعيش حياتك. الاستمتاع بالحياة والشعور بالسعادة هو ما يمنعك من الشعور بالمرض. لذا ، استمتع بالحياة قدر الإمكان.

It is crucial to remember that negative thoughts are evil for your health. So, always think positively. Keep yourself happy and believe in yourself and the doctors who are tirelessly trying to help you defeat Breast Cancer.

إذا هزمت السرطان ، فعندئذ تستطيع أنت أيضًا ، لأننا أقوى من السرطان!
