علامات ۽ تشخيص

My name is Alka Bhatnagar. I am a سيني ۾ ڪينسر Survivor. I am also an active member of Anuradha Saxenas Sangini Group. It was around 2013 when I first got diagnosed and noticed a lump in my right breast. It was an emotionally draining experience. I feel devastated and helpless. Every time I would go for a check-up, the doctor would use words like Inflammatory, Malignant, and they used to put me under a lot of stress by giving me long consults full of guesses, which were mostly wrong. The results were inconclusive.

تنهن هوندي، اسان هڪ ملٽي اسپيشلٽي اسپتال ۾ ڪجهه ٽيسٽن لاءِ ويندا رهياسين ۽ اتي جي ڊاڪٽر ڏٺائين ته اها منهنجي ساڄي چھاتی ۾ بريسٽ ڪينسر آهي. مون فوري طور تي ڪيموٿراپي ۽ سرجري ڪئي. انهن ڍڳي کي هٽايو ۽ جانچيو ته منهنجي سيني تي ٻيون ڍڳيون ڪينسر واريون هيون يا نه، شڪر آهي ته انهن مان ڪو به نه هو. هنن Herceptin نالي هڪ اميونوٿراپي پروٽوڪول پڻ ڪيو، جنهن کان سواءِ ڪيموٿراپي جي علاج سان به بقا جي شرح 50 سيڪڙو هوندي، پر ان سان هنن مون کي گهٽ ۾ گهٽ ضمني اثرات سان 70 سيڪڙو بقا جي شرح ڏني.

The doctors there seemed more educated than most other doctors in this city. It is not just about being well versed with medical terminology or having gone to a good medical school; it is about how one picks up on patterns and symptoms and actually connects the dots to make sense of things This is what matters most when it comes to treatment options.

ضمني اثرات ۽ چئلينج

Throughout my journey of beating Breast Cancer, I was unable to find bras that fit by the time I had lost all my hair. When a woman loses her hair from chemo, its a sign of strength and courage. Its also those changes that make you feel like an outsider in your own skin. This bra represents survival for me and for many women who have gone through what I did. To add After treatments of chemotherapy and radiation, my skin was pale, my eyes were dark and I felt like a stranger in my own body.

اهو هڪ انتهائي ڪتاب پڙهڻ جو وقت هو. مون کي پنهنجي پراڻي خود وانگر محسوس ڪرڻ لاء ٻيهر حاصل ڪرڻ لاء، مون کي پنهنجو شوق ڪرڻ جو رخ ڪيو. اهو مون کي سٺو ڏسڻ ۾ مدد ڪئي، بهتر محسوس ڪيو ۽ جيتوڻيڪ مون کي ناقابل تسخير محسوس ڪرڻ ۾ مدد ڪئي جڏهن ڪينسر جي علاج لاء.

Chemotherapy can be an isolating experience. For most people, it makes you feel invisible. When I was bald and lost my eyebrows, I made a choice to fight back and wear make-up. It wasnt just about vanity; it was about getting to know myself again. Cancer made me feel like I couldnt face the world without a mask!

سپورٽ سسٽم ۽ سنڀاليندڙ

Sometimes life isnt easy. People get sick and that is a sad truth of life. They might have an accident and someone needs to take care of them. This can be hard because the family members may feel confused and they dont know what to do in order to help the person to recover quickly.

منهنجو خاندان هميشه منهنجي ضرورت جي وقت ۾ منهنجي مدد ڪرڻ لاء هو. اهي منهنجا سڀ مسئلا ٻڌندا ۽ انهن جي حل لاءِ ڀرپور ڪوشش ڪندا. اسپتال جو عملو پيار ڪندڙ ۽ جذباتي هو. جڏهن مون شديد درد جو تجربو ڪرڻ شروع ڪيو، انهن مون کي سنڀالڻ لاء پنهنجي طاقت ۾ سڀ ڪجهه ڪيو.

I am grateful to have a support system thats always there for me and lets me share my experience with them. That made the recovery process after cancer much easier to deal with, because I started feeling better and thanks to the doctors and nurses. They also helped me recover from my aches at a faster rate!

پوسٽ ڪينسر ۽ مستقبل جو مقصد

I feel great today. I have bounced back so well from surgery that I can scarcely believe it! The incision is healing beautifully, and I am so happy with how things look now, even if its a little different than it was before. Its important for me to appreciate all the good things in life, no matter how big or small they may seem. I know this experience has been really tough, but the good news is, I get to work through it doing things that I would love to do regardless of what happens!

ڪجھ سبق جيڪي مون سکيا

Life is too short to be lived with regrets. Acknowledging that hard lesson and choosing to move forward give me a sense of deep gratitude for what I have. Cancer has taught me many things. And, a cancer diagnosis is a moment of terror, but it can also be a chance to stop and re-examine one life. Its forced me to be patient and kind, its made me more empathetic towards others; its encouraged me to rise above even when the world comes crashing down around me, and most importantly, its taught me about love redefined as an idea and feeling.

But as I scrolled through my memories and the rough times, I realized that without this horrific experience, I wouldnt have where I am now. Heres the thing. In order to progress, you have to have a few lessons to pull from the side-lines whether they are learnt from school, people you know or things that happen.

جدائي جو پيغام

آخرڪار، مان هڪ برسٽ ڪينسر سروائيور آهيان. مان پنهنجي ڪهاڻي شيئر ڪريان ٿو ٻين جي مدد ڪرڻ لاءِ انهن جي علاج ذريعي جرئت، طاقت ۽ اميد سان. منهنجي صلاح آهي توهان جي ڊاڪٽر سان ڳالهايو ضمني اثرات جي حوالي سان ۽ جيڪڏهن توهان کي دوائن بابت وڌيڪ معلومات جي ضرورت آهي.

هميشه ڪو ماڻهو هجي جيڪو علاج دوران توهان کي ڪمپني رکي سگهي. مان خوش قسمت ماڻهن مان هڪ هوس؛ گهڻي وقت کان پوءِ، مان هاڻي ڪينسر کان آزاد آهيان. بهرحال، منهنجي ڪهاڻي غير معمولي ناهي. ڪيتريون ئي عورتون سينو سرطان جو شڪار آهن. ۽، ڪيمو جي اثرات کي منظم ڪرڻ ڏکيو ٿي سگھي ٿو. ڪڏهن ڪڏهن، مون کي حيران ڪيو ته اهو سڀ ڪجهه ان جي لائق هو. پر پوءِ مان آئيني ۾ خوبصورت عورت کي ڏسان ٿو ۽ ڏسان ٿو ته هوءَ تمام طاقت حاصل ڪري چڪي آهي، ۽ مون کي خبر آهي ته اها هئي!

Always remember one thing Theres no such thing as timeless when it comes to eradicating cancer. The battle doesnt stop after treatment ends. You continue the search for all options available to you, so that your body, mind, and soul are healthy as they can be.
