Emva kokuhlala phantsi nesigulane esitsha samathambo, indoda enomdla oneminyaka engama-80 ubudala eyayisandul 'ukufumana i-prostate nodule kunye ne-PSA ephakame ukuya kuma-50, ndambuza isizathu sokuba engazange a tyelele ugqirha iminyaka engaphezu kwe-10 okanye nawuphi na uvavanyo lwe-PSA, waphendula wathi, "Ndihlala ndonwabela impilo epheleleyo. Kutheni ubona ugqirha? "Uvala uhlobo olunjengempendulo engumntu oyisiphukuphuku, kodwa ukugweba ngokubonakala kwakhe okunempilo, (ekhangeleka njengama-70), omnye kufuneka athethe ukuba kude kube ngoku umgaqo-nkqubo wakhe uphumelele kakhulu.
Nangona kunjalo, ukuba uTom wayeya kuthatha inxaxheba ngengqiqo kwiingxoxo ezongezelelweyo malunga nokunyulwa kwonyango olungcono, umgangatho wakhe wolwazi lomhlaza wesifo seprotate luya kufuna uncedo olusisiseko. Ekubeni engumphathi wezonyango, ndazi ukuba umyalelo wam kufuneka uqale kwinqanaba leprayimari. Eli nqaku linika iingqungquthela ezibalulekileyo ezifunekayo ukuba ziziswe kubantu abaye baxhomekeka kwiinkcukacha malunga nendlela umhlaza wesibeletho uziphatha ngayo.
Hayizo zonke iiKhansela ezifanayo
Izigulane ezininzi eziqaliswe kwihlabathi lomhlaza zihluleka ukuqonda ukuba umdlavuza wamaphaphu, umdlavuza webele, umdlavuza wengqondo kunye nomhlaza wesifo seprotate sisifo esihlukileyo. Ngako oko, amadoda anesifo somhlaza wesibeletho esandul 'uvavanyo kufuneka aqonde ukuba zonke iingcamango ezinxulumene namava abo kunye nolunye uhlobo lomhlaza olwenzeke kumalungu entsapho okanye ngabahlobo baya kudukisa ngokupheleleyo ukuba kusetyenziselwa ukulindela komdlavuza wesibeletho.

I-Cancers yeProstate ngokwawo i-Mixed Bag
Kulula ukuba izigulane ziqonde ukuba iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zomhlaza, ezifana nomhlaza wesisu kunye nomhlaza wesikhumba unokuziphatha ngendlela eyahlukileyo. Ndiye ndabona ukuba kunzima izigulana ukuba ziqonde ukuba loo mhlaza wesibeletho ngokwawo unokuziphatha ngendlela ezahlukeneyo.
Ingxenye yale ndlela yokuziphatha eyahlukileyo ivela ngenxa yeendlela ezahlukileyo: Akukho mntu uya kumangaliswa ukuva ukuba umdlavuza wesantya unomdla ohlukileyo kunezifo eziphambili.
Nangona kunjalo, nangona ukuthelekisa ezimbini ezahlukeneyo zesifo se-prostate zesiteji esifanayo, oko sikubiza ngokuthi "umdlavuza wesifo seprotate" usasafani kakhulu. Cinga oku kulandelayo: Ngo-2014, amadoda angama-70,000 afunyaniswa ukuba unomdla wesifo somhlaza wesifo seprotate esicinga ukuba akunakonakalisa ukuba iingcali zivuma ukuba akukho nonyango olufanelekileyo. Nangona kunjalo, ngenye indlela, nangomhla we-2014, uhlobo oluthile lwe-prostate yomdlavuza lukhokelela ekufeni kwabangu-28 000 nangona zonke iinzame zokulondoloza ubomi kunye nokuhlinzwa, i-radiation, unyango lwe-hormone, unyango lwe-immune, kunye ne-chemotherapy. Oko sikubiza ngokuthi "umdlavuza weprotate" ngokwenene ugulane lwezifo ezahlukileyo ziqokelelwe ndawonye phantsi kwexesha elilodwa lekhefu.

Umdlavuza wesifuba seprayimali ukhula ngokukhawuleza, uhlala usasazeka kwimiphunga kwaye awuphenduli kuma-hormone.
Umhlaza wesifo seprotate osasazeka kwithambo ukhula ngokukhawuleza kwaye awufaneki ngokusasazeka kwimpompe kwaye ngokuqhelekileyo uhamba ne-hormone therapy. Umhlaza wesifo seprotate kwithambo kunye nomhlaza wesifuba wepasta zizifo ezibini ezihlukeneyo nezihlukileyo ezingafanelekanga.
Oogqirha kunye nezigulane, i-Human Factor
Into eyenza umntu iyancedisa ngakumbi ukhetho olufanelekileyo lwezonyango. Oogqirha abaphatha umhlaza wesibeletho bavela kwizikolo ezahlukeneyo zokucinga. Akunjalo kuphela i-urologists, oogqirha abaziintloko be-prostate emhlabeni jikelele, abaqeqeshelwa ngokwahlukileyo kwiingcali zemitha.
Kukho okhethekileyo ukunyanga zonke iintlobo zomhlaza, kodwa i-oncologists yezokwelapha ayinakuze ibandakanyeke kunyango lwe-prostate cancer. Kukho iziganeko ezibalulekileyo zesigulane ukucinga, iminyaka yobudala, ukuqina kunye nobukhulu beprotate umzekelo. Izigulane ezimbini zingaphathwa ngendlela eyahlukileyo nangona zinesiganeko esifanayo nesifo kunye nomhlobo ofanayo womhlaza wesibeletho.
Imeko kaTom
Ngo-PSA ophezulu we-50, uTom uza kufuna ukufundwa kwethambo ukuqinisekisa ukuba i-metastases zenzekile. Ukuba izicatshulwa ziya kucaca, kwaye ukuba uTom wayengumncinci weminyaka elishumi, i-radiation kwi-prostate kunye neyeza le-hormone iya kumnika ithuba elihle lokunyanga. Nangona kunjalo, enye yezo unyango kuphela iyakwazi ukulawula eso sifo iminyaka eyi-15. Ngoko ke, kwiminyaka engama-80 ubudala kunengqiqo ukuqwalasela indlela enonyango yokunyanga kunye ne-radiation yodwa okanye i- hormone therapy kuphela. Ukunciphisa unyango oluncinane kunomngcipheko wezehlo ezichaphazelekayo zonyango. UTom nomkakhe bashiya intlanganiso yethu kunye nekopi yencwadi yam, Ukuhlaselwa kwabathathi beprostate ngezicwangciso zokufunda ngokuqhubekayo ekulungiseleleni intlanganiso elandelayo.
