ഓരോ ചെറിയ ചുവടും പ്രധാനമാണ്. നിങ്ങൾക്ക് ഇന്ന് നിങ്ങളുടെ ലക്ഷ്യത്തിലെത്താൻ കഴിഞ്ഞേക്കില്ല, പക്ഷേ അത് കുഴപ്പമില്ല. ഓരോ ദിവസവും പുതിയ രോഗശാന്തി നൽകുന്നു.

കണ്ടെത്തൽ/രോഗനിർണയം

രോഗനിർണയം നടത്തുമ്പോൾ എനിക്ക് 17 വയസ്സായിരുന്നു അണ്ഡാശയ അര്ബുദം. Initially, I had some hormonal imbalance and other issues going on. But that was in a pattern which was not very bothersome and that didn't make me think that it could lead to something like this. And even when it used to hurt, I used to think that they were normal period cramps.

But one day, I felt sick and I was rushed to the hospital. I consulted my family doctors and they all were like, there is something major going on. So, I went through all the scans and tests and then my oncologist finally informed me that I have Ovarian Cancer. 

Ovary Cancer Treatment: Surgery followed by Chemotherapy

It was my brother's birthday when I had my first surgery. The surgery went on for a longer duration. I had to do കീമോതെറാപ്പി and several other post-cancer treatments as well.

When the surgery was done, a tumour which weighed around 1.5 kg was removed. After that, I was on observation for several days. This long period was more mentally challenging than physically. Each chemotherapy lasted for about a week until I had another chemo cycle. I had a total of six chemo cycles.

പ്രശ്നങ്ങൾ മറികടക്കുന്നു

Along with all the life battle challenges going on, I had to complete my college years as well, so I did not take a break. I continued my education along with the treatment. To keep my mind, I used to read and watch a lot of different things. I was aware of all the celebrities and other known people who had suffered cancer. Moreover, being a Mental Health Practitioner and Psychologist has really helped me through this journey. At one stage, I was changing a lot physically, mentally and emotionally and the journey was becoming quite challenging for me.

പാർശ്വഫലങ്ങളും മറ്റ് വെല്ലുവിളികളും

I used to have great hair but after കീമോതെറാപ്പി, every single strand turned pink and there was baldness. I had a hard time washing it. My hair did not grow for about one and a half years.

എനിക്ക് വേഗത്തിലുള്ള ശരീരഭാരം കുറയുകയും ശരീരഭാരം വർദ്ധിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു. ഞാൻ 20 കിലോയോളം കൂടുകയും കുറയുകയും ചെയ്തിരുന്നു.

Everyone suggested I have protein powder, but I went the natural way. But changing the diet and making it more protein-rich did help me.

I didn't try any alternative treatment. The doctor did not suggest it and even my parents didn't think it was worth risking trying some alternative methods that could mess around with the treatment that we're having. So, we stuck to allopathy and didn't try anything else.

ക്യാൻസറിന് ശേഷമുള്ള ചികിത്സയും ജീവിതവും മാറ്റുന്നു

It's been five years now and a lot of things have changed dietary-wise, physically and even mentally. I changed my diet from Non- vegetarian to vegetarian. I have continued yoga and have been practising it for five years now. So, after going through this journey, I got to know a lot about myself.  

മറ്റ് കാൻസർ രോഗികൾക്കുള്ള നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

When people go through chemo and other therapies, they shut themselves down. You become anxious about the things that are going around and you will be occupied thinking about how things will get back to normal.

But what we need is to understand that it will eventually become normal. Keeping a positive attitude will help you in your കാൻസർ journey. You need to do things that make you feel better and something to look forward to. Do not shut down yourself from people who are trying to push you. You can get a greater perspective of life by having conversations with potential patients. You need to let your feet out. Another important thing is to keep yourself hydrated. If you are not eating well and are not hydrated, it can cause an imbalance in the hormones of your body. Another very important thing is to try meditation. Just close your eyes and let everything go out for 5, 10 or 15 minutes.

വേർപിരിയൽ സന്ദേശം

രോഗികൾക്ക് - നിങ്ങൾ ശക്തരാകേണ്ടതില്ല. ഒരേ സമയം ഒരു വികാരം, ഒരു വികാരം കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്യുക. നിങ്ങളുടെ ജീവിതത്തിൽ എന്ത് സംഭവിച്ചാലും, ഒരു സമയത്ത് ഒരു ചുവട് വെക്കുക.
