Диагностика рака молочной железы

I am Anafe Gutierrez, a 48 years old Рак молочной железы 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.

Лечение рака молочной железы

Treatments always follow diagnosis, and soon after my Breast Cancer diagnosis, my stage 4 Лечение рака молочной железы began. I had to undergo a total of six cycles of chemotherapy. The processes were then followed by twenty-one days of Радиационная терапия. 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.

The various cancer treatments like Химиотерапия and Radiation therapy manage to take a toll on the patient's body. So, I try to stay indoors as much as possible. I only step out whenever it is mandatory. For example, I need to visit the hospitals and pathological laboratories to get my Blood Tests for Breast Cancer done once every two weeks. I also have my CT scans scheduled once in three months. Every six months, I need to have my bone scans done. I also need to visit my doctors at least once a month for the monthly check-ups. These are the activities that require me to step out mandatorily.

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.

У меня была сильная вера в Бога с самого детства. Я верю, что именно Бог решительно остается с нами даже в самые трудные моменты нашей жизни. Бог заботится о вас всякий раз, когда в этом есть необходимость. Я никогда не упускал возможности вознести свои молитвы Всевышнему, и я думаю, что это сделало меня более солидным, чем раньше, и помогло мне на протяжении всего лечения рака молочной железы.

Моя жизнь после рака

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.

Жизнь была совсем другой до того, как мне поставили диагноз «рак молочной железы». Раньше у меня была свобода выходить на улицу и наслаждаться всем без особого беспокойства. Но я больше не могу свободно делать это. Мой путь к раку сделал меня более чувствительным, поэтому мне нужно принимать надлежащие меры предосторожности каждый раз, когда я выхожу на улицу или делаю что-нибудь. Мне всегда нужно проявлять особую заботу о себе, чтобы у моего рака молочной железы не было шанса на рецидив, поскольку вероятность рецидива рака молочной железы высока. Особенно в условиях пандемии COVID-19 пациентка с раком молочной железы или женщина, пережившая рак молочной железы, должны проявлять особую осторожность, поскольку сейчас это крайне важно.

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.

Некоторые уроки, которые я усвоил

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.
