مون وٽ هڪ تمام صحتمند زندگي هئي، ۽ سڀ ڪجهه ٺيڪ هو. هڪ ڏينهن، جڏهن آئون آئيني ۾ ڏسي رهيو هوس، مون کي منهنجي ڳچيء جي ڀرسان ڪجهه مليو. اهو ٻاهران گهڻو ڏسڻ ۾ نه آيو، پر جڏهن مون ان کي ڇهيو ته مون کي ڪجهه مختلف محسوس ٿي سگهيو.

تايرايڊ ڪينسر جي تشخيص

I went to the doctor who did a biopsy, but it was inconclusive. The doctor gave me antibiotics, and they didn't work. I underwent a CT scan, and it was found that I had ٽايڊراڊ جي سرطان, which had spread to the lymph nodes. I was diagnosed in January 2015 when I was just 32-years-old.

تائيڊرا ڪينسر جو علاج

مون وٽ هيو جراحي to remove my thyroid gland and the impacted lymph nodes. I underwent radioactive iodine treatment. It was difficult for me to go through with my low-iodine diet to prepare myself for the treatment, but I was fortunate enough to sail through it. I had some side effects, but they subsided in their own time.

Later, I moved to Canada to pursue my PhD where I did my one-year follow-up in Canada. I was declared cancer-free in December 2015, and with that came a sense of relief for me after a whole year of ups and downs. A couple of years went by, and things were okay. I had hormonal fluctuations, and I had to take thyroid medication because my thyroid gland was removed, but there was nothing serious to worry about.

In August 2018, I had a sore throat for a month. The doctor didn't think it could be a relapse because when she examined me, she couldn't find anything, but as a precautionary measure, she asked me to go for the scans.

مون اسڪين ڪرايو ۽، منهنجي مايوسي ۾، ڏٺم ته اتي هڪ ڍنگ هئي. مان شڪرگذار آهيان ته اسان ان کي جلد ڳولي لڌو ڇاڪاڻ ته مون وٽ ڪا به علامت نه هئي. مون کي سڄي ذريعي گذريو تايراڊ ڪينسر Treatment again, including Surgery to remove that lump. I had radioactive iodine treatment, and I am on a one-year follow-up.

 After my first cancer journey, I wrote a book, Falling Up - Nine Ways to transform Trauma into Triumph، ۽ ان کي شايع ڪيو. مان هاڻي بلڪل ٺيڪ آهيان ۽ ڪينسر کان پاڪ آهيان.

گرڻ - صدمي کي فتح ۾ تبديل ڪرڻ جا نو طريقا

منهنجو ڪتاب، گرڻ - صدمي کي فتح ۾ تبديل ڪرڻ جا نو طريقا، is on the concept of post-traumatic growth. It is about how trauma survivors grow after trauma and what helps them to develop. A strong social support helps them in their recovery and growth. ج ۽ مراقبو پڻ تمام گهڻو مدد ڪري ٿو. مان ٽي شيون لکندو هوس، جنهن لاءِ مان شڪر گذار هوس، ڪا به ڳالهه نه هئي. مون پنهنجو ڪتاب 2015 ۾ لکيو، ۽ جڏهن مان پنهنجي ڪينسر جي ٻئي سفر مان گذري رهيو هوس، مون ان تي وڌيڪ ڪم ڪيو ۽ ان کي منهنجي پي ايڇ ڊي پروگرام کان پوءِ شايع ڪيو.

منهنجو سپورٽ سسٽم

My husband was there for me throughout my thyroid cancer journey. He has been my greatest support and strength. He was my primary caregiver, and I am very grateful to him for all he has done for me. I express my gratitude to my extended family and friends who were with me throughout my journey. They were just a phone call away whenever I needed support. They were always happy to provide me with mental and emotional support and played a huge role in my journey.

زندگي جا سبق

مون نئين عام کي قبول ڪرڻ ۽ زندگي سان صبر ڪرڻ سکيو. جڏهن تايرايڊ ڪينسر مون کي ٿيو، مون محسوس ڪيو ته ڇا واقعي مون لاء اهم هو. اهو مون کي هڪ قدم واپس ورتو ۽ تجزيو ڪيو ته منهنجي زندگي ۾ ڇا اهم هو. مان زندگيءَ ۾ بامعني رشتا چاھيان ٿو ۽ ٻين جي مدد ڪرڻ ۽ متاثر ڪرڻ چاھيان ٿو.

جدائي جو پيغام

مضبوط رهو. ڪينسر جي تشخيص ۽ علاج توهان جي ذهني صحت تي هڪ ٽولي وٺي، تنهنڪري مدد لاء پڇڻ کان ڊپ نه ٿيو. پنھنجي ساٿي، ڪٽنب، يا پنھنجي ويجھن ماڻھن کي ٻڌايو ته توھان ڪيئن محسوس ڪيو. اتي ڪيترائي سپورٽ گروپ ۽ ڪميونٽي آھن، تنھنڪري انھن ۾ شامل ٿيو ۽ اتان مدد حاصل ڪريو.
