Sintomi del cancro al cervello

It all started with an extreme headache. When I bent down, I felt everything flowing downwards and then flowing backwards. I initially suspected it could be related to asthma, so I consulted a doctor. However, he attributed it to stress and recommended seeing a psychiatrist. Despite this, I was skeptical because I knew stress wasn't the cause.

Più tardi, mio ​​padre suggerì di rivolgersi a un neuromedico. Ma quando sono andato da un neuromedico, mi ha indirizzato a un neurochirurgo. Quindi siamo venuti a Hyderabad, abbiamo consultato un neurochirurgo e abbiamo fatto la mia risonanza magnetica. Nei rapporti, abbiamo scoperto che si tratta di a Cancro al cervello tumore, ma non ero a conoscenza della notizia che mi era stato diagnosticato un ependimoma di grado 2.

Trattamento del cancro al cervello

Ero felice e non vedevo l'ora che arrivasse Chirurgia perché pensavo che potesse porre fine ai miei mal di testa. Anche mia madre aspettava con ansia l’intervento con la stessa mentalità.

I medici avevano discusso con mio fratello e non con mia madre o con me che avrei potuto perdere la vista, gli arti o camminare. Potrebbe trattarsi di tutto o di tutto, e all'epoca non sapevo nemmeno nessuna di queste cose.

Sono state quattro ore e mezza di chirurgia molto aggressive. I medici ne hanno quasi rimosso il 99%, quindi i miei nervi facciali, i nervi ottici e tutto il resto sono stati colpiti. Ho perso la vista, la capacità di parlare e di udire e non potevo nemmeno camminare.

Every day in the hospital was a struggle. I didn't know if I would wake up each morning. I developed pneumonia and had to undergo a tracheostomy. With the tube in place, I couldn't open my mouth or speak for three and a half months. My mother was worried if I would ever regain the ability to speak.

My face was paralyzed; I couldn't move any part of it. I remember my brother asking me to smile, but I couldn't even convey that I was smiling inside because I couldn't move my lips. I couldn't express anything through my facial expressions, and I couldn't even write properly because of my impaired vision.

To make things worse, my creatinine used to shoot up to 6, and doctors were confused about whether to do dialysis or not because I already had a lung infection. So, they didn't take the risk and gave me medicines and increased my water intake. After one week, point by point, the creatinine level started to decrease.

Later, my radiation started. But I had surgery on the backside of my head, and there was a big bulge there. When I laid down for my radiation, I almost lost consciousness, so again the radiation would be canceled and rescheduled for some other day. Every week, doctors used to perform a lumbar puncture before radiation. Even the doctors were worried that too many lumbar punctures could affect my spine, but they had no other choice. That process was harrowing, so every day, I felt like I didn't want to go through with it, but somehow, I managed to complete my radiation.

One day I had a fall, and again, it created a very panic situation because I had undergone surgery and already had a big bump on my head. I was immediately taken for scans and other tests, but fortunately, nothing had gone wrong. Later, I was given physiotherapy sessions where I was taught how to sit on a chair, how to walk forward, backward, and sideways, how to swallow food. I had to relearn everything from scratch and used to ask my parents how to do simple things because I couldn't even remember those things.

Ma alla fine, sono stato dimesso con successo dall'ospedale e persino la mia tracheostomia è stata rimossa.

Torna alla Home

Anche dopo essere tornato a casa, ero solo sul mio tubo di Ryles. Dopo un anno, sono stato in grado di vedere, ma ho potuto vedere solo immagini sfocate.

My eyes don't move sideways. I developed a squint after surgery, and because of that, I have double vision, even now. I used to bump into doors because I could see two doors, and I could not figure out which one was the original. Because I couldn't see correctly, I lost my balance and used to sway when I was walking or standing.

I underwent eye Surgery in 2015, but it was not successful. I had dry eyes and a dry mouth. I could have lost my corneas because of the dryness, but I used to put eye drops frequently to keep my eyes moist. Because of the dry mouth and absence of saliva, I couldn't eat spicy food; I'd lost a protective layer to my teeth, so they became so brittle that even if I bit a biscuit, my teeth would break off. I underwent 12 root canal treatments, and all my four wisdom teeth were removed.

Every dental procedure was more excruciating than my radiation. I used to cry silently on that dental chair every time. I couldn't even open my mouth. It had to be done in 2-3 sittings as I couldn't stand all that Pain in one sitting. Saliva plays a vital role in our body that no one is aware of or cares about, but I do now.

Quando ho ricevuto le radiazioni, ho perso le sopracciglia e i capelli e avevo delle chiazze sulla testa. Quindi, quando sono arrivato nel mio appartamento, le persone si sono letteralmente spaventate anche solo a guardarmi.

My face had changed completely due to the Surgery. I still don't know how that happened. It took me around three years to accept my face because, by the age of 25, your brain registers how you look. When I look in the mirror, it's not me; it's someone else, and it took me a very long time to accept it. Anyways, I couldn't see correctly, but still, even if I looked in a mirror, I couldn't recognize myself. It used to take a moment to realize that okay, that's me.

Dopo la paralisi facciale dovuta all'intervento chirurgico iniziale per il cancro al cervello, il mio lato era migliorato, ma l'altro lato non era migliorato affatto, quindi il mio viso era in ritardo da un lato. Dopo la dimissione, il la fisioterapia per il mio viso è andata avanti per due anni. Mi davano stimoli elettronici per stimolare i miei nervi. Questa è stata un'altra procedura dolorosa.

It took a year for the bulge to go away, and the fluid in my head applied pressure on my optic nerves, causing them to swell. My neuro-ophthalmologist was concerned after looking at the scan reports because the nerves were swollen, and if the pressure increased, I could have lost my eyesight forever. He wanted my neurosurgeon to address the fluid, but my neurosurgeon was hesitant to perform any procedure because it would require placing a stand inside to drain the liquid, which could pose further risks if he needed to open my brain again. He couldn't take the risk of the Surgery and preferred to wait. I was very confused because both options were risky, and I am still waiting for the right time to undergo the Surgery and fully regain my eyesight.

After that, I wasn't happy staying at home with all these thoughts swirling around in my mind, so my brother approached an advertising agency, since that is what I had always wanted to do. He asked them as a favor if I could come to the office for 3-4 hours to boost my morale. They were such wonderful human beings that they agreed. Despite the paralysis, I wasn't able to sit, walk, talk, or even see properly, but still, they decided to let me in, and I am still working with them in the HR department.

I can't do what I want to do, even basic things like playing badminton or running or walking like everyone else. I love playing badminton, but now I can't because I cannot estimate or judge correctly, and it gives me a kind of bumpy feeling in the head and results in a headache. I can't step out on roads because I can't see properly. But I don't want to look at it that way; I am fine, and I am going to do it. I am never going to give up; I am not accepting defeat.

La mia motivazione attraverso il mio viaggio contro il cancro al cervello

Traggo la motivazione dalla mia famiglia, dai medici e dagli infermieri. Non avrei potuto fare nulla senza di loro. Ogni momento, ogni secondo ho lottato e sto ancora lottando, ma non voglio arrendermi per il bene della famiglia. Avevo solo 25 anni quando mi fu diagnosticato un cancro al cervello... ependimoma. Avevo molti più sogni e visioni della mia vita. Ho pianificato la mia istruzione. Volevo avviare un'attività e dicevo ai miei amici di iniziare a leggere il giornale e un giorno leggerai sicuramente un articolo su di me che sono una donna d'affari di successo. Essere una donna d'affari di successo era il mio sogno.

When I was on a wheelchair or stretcher, I used to look around at people in the hospital, all of my age, smiling, walking, doing everything, and I used to ask myself why I am like this? But now, I need to get over all these. I need to go and chase my dreams. Now, I want to have a happy and healthy life, and I wish that for everyone. Only if you have health, you can do anything. I see people running behind material possessions, but they don't realize that they are doing so, putting their health at risk.

I used to sketch. I love painting, and I do pencil sketching. Even without proper vision, I wanted to do something for my doctor, so I made his sketch. I also used to play the guitar. My brother used to take me out on the hospital campus so that I could spend some time in greenery. All these things used to relax my mind amidst all the chaos. Initially, I was not fond of going to the top floor of the hospital to watch the view, but gradually, that became one of my most favorite parts of the day for which I used to wait for my brother.

Ho guadagnato così tanta fiducia dopo essere andato in ufficio. Nessuno mi discrimina lì; tutti mi incoraggiano.

I miei apprendimenti

I believe that life doesn't challenge you with things you can't handle. It only gives you whatever you can handle. Many miracles have happened in my life. I have learned to be positive. I don't complain; instead, I count my blessings that I have an amazing family and got a fantastic set of doctors.

Calcio cancro fuori dal tuo corpo.

Anche i caregiver dovrebbero essere positivi. Non permettere mai alle persone che vengono semplicemente di esprimere la tua solidarietà, perché, alla fine, sei solo tu e i tuoi cari. Escludi tutte le spazzatura dalla tua vita.

Punti chiave del viaggio di guarigione di Keerthana Thriveedhi

• Tutto è iniziato con un forte mal di testa. Quando mi chinavo sentivo tutto scorrere verso il basso e poi scorrere all'indietro. Ho pensato che potesse essere un problema legato all'asma, quindi ho consultato un medico, ma lui pensava che fosse tutta colpa dello stress. Dopo aver consultato alcuni altri medici, mi è stato diagnosticato un ependimoma di grado 2.
• Ho subito radiazioni e chirurgia per il mio tumore al cervello, ma quella chirurgia è stata molto aggressiva. Ha colpito i miei nervi facciali, i nervi ottici, non riuscivo a vedere correttamente, ho sviluppato uno strabismo e c'erano molti altri effetti collaterali.
• Dopo l'intervento chirurgico, il mio viso è completamente cambiato. Non riesco nemmeno a riconoscermi. Mi ci sono voluti tre anni per accettare la mia faccia. Non potrei fare nemmeno le cose basilari che desidero, ma piuttosto che lamentarmi preferisco contare le mie benedizioni. Ho una famiglia e dei dottori fantastici; senza il loro sostegno non avrei potuto fare nulla.
• Non arrenderti mai, non guardare il lato negativo e non demotivarti mai. È la tua vita; devi affrontarlo. Non permettere mai a nessuno di darti compassione o di piangere davanti a te perché questo ti indebolirà. Non demotivarti e non lasciare che la tua famiglia si demotiva. Supererai tutto questo. Caccia il cancro dal tuo corpo.
