મારી તબિયત થોડી બગડવા લાગી ત્યારે હું 21 વર્ષનો થયો હતો. મારી જીવનશૈલી અને કામને કારણે મને તેની અપેક્ષા હતી, પરંતુ મારી તબિયત સતત બગડતી રહી. હું હોસ્પિટલ પહોંચ્યો અને જોયું કે મને એક ગાંઠ છે જેનું તાત્કાલિક ઓપરેશન કરવાની જરૂર છે.

અંડાશયના કેન્સરનું નિદાન

I went into the emergency ward, had a constant fever, and could not sit or stand. The following day, I was rushed for various tests, and when the reports came, I learned that I had a tumour that was twisted around the abdomen. I underwent a five-and-a-half-hour-longસર્જરી. Post my Surgery, I had 27 stitches and many other things that felt like torture. I wanted to get rid of everything. After seven days, I started walking and getting back to normal.

After one week, when the tumour marker results came, I learned it wasઅંડાશયના કેન્સર. I kept denying it and trying to sink in that it was true. Later, we got a call that we had to consult an oncologist. When we went to the oncologist, he said I had to undergoChemotherapy. I couldn't handle what was happening around me. I had already gone through a lot, but I always had a smile.

અંડાશયના કેન્સર સારવાર

The doctors were amazing. I knew I was in good hands, and I felt safe. The doctor said theOvarian Cancerwas in the initial stage, and therefore, I would need only sixકિમોચિકિત્સાઃsessions. I cried a lot, but I was ready to fight. My best friend, who happened to be a doctor, helped me a lot on the nutrition side.

I underwent theChemotherapysessions. My friend prepared a chart of what I should and should not do. I followed a pattern of five chemotherapies in a week and then took a day break.

I got my hair shaved, and it didn't have many side effects. Initially, I was told that I would have to go through sixChemotherapysessions, but after four sessions of Chemotherapy, the doctors said I was cancer-free. I was ecstatic after hearing that, and I felt like dancing.

અમે કોઈ પણ ઈમરજન્સીના કિસ્સામાં વધારાના ત્રણ જોડી કપડાં હોસ્પિટલમાં લઈ જતા હતા, પરંતુ અમે અમારી બેગ લઈને સીધા જ ગોવા ગયા. હવે, હું છ મહિનામાં એકવાર ફોલો-અપ માટે જાઉં છું.
