Ukufakelwa komnkantsha kungenye yezinkonzo ze I-Cancerfax, ehlinzekwa odokotela abahlinzayo abangcono kakhulu, kanye nendawo yokuhlala, umhumushi, umhlengikazi ongumngane wakhe, nokuvakasha kwedolobha ngentengo ethengekayo e-Iran.
Iyini i-leukemia?
Leukemia is usually thought of as a children’s condition, but it affects more adults. It’s more common in men than women and more in whites. There’s nothing you can do to prevent leukemia. It’s the cancer of your blood cells caused by a rise in the number of white blood cells in your body. They crowd out the red blood cells and platelets your body needs to be healthy. All those extra white blood cells don’t work right, and that causes problems.
Kuyini ukufakelwa komnkantsha (BMT)?
Ukufakelwa komnkantsha esikhundleni se-stem cells. Isetshenziswa lapho ama-stem cells noma umongo wethambo wonakalisiwe noma ucekelwe phansi yizifo, okuhlanganisa ezinye izinhlobo zomdlavuza, ne-leukemia, noma imithamo ephezulu ye-chemotherapy noma yokwelapha ngemisebe.
Yiziphi izinhlobo ezahlukene ze-BMT?
Kunezinhlobo ezimbili eziyinhloko ze-BMT: i-autologous kanye ne-allogeneic bone marrow transplants. Nge-Autologous, ama-stem cells athathwa enganeni yakho kodwa nge-Allogeneic, onikelayo ngomunye umuntu. Ezinye izindlela zokufakelwa, njengegazi lenkaba, nazo ziyatholakala, lapho ama-stem cells athathwa enkabeni ngemva nje kokuzalwa komntwana. Lawa ma-stem cells akhula abe amaseli egazi avuthiwe ngokushesha nangempumelelo kunama-stem cells asuka emnkantsheni wenye ingane noma omdala. Amaseli e-stem ayahlolwa, athayiphe, abalwe, futhi aqandiswe ebhange lokufakelwa kuze kube yilapho edingeka ukuze kufakwe omunye umuntu.
Ukufakelwa kwe-Bone Marrow
Kule minyaka eyishumi edlule, abezokwelapha baye babona intuthuko enkulu ekuxilongeni nasekulapheni umdlavuza. Abantu abaningi abanalesi sifo baphila isikhathi eside futhi abaningi bayelapheka. Lokho kungenxa yocwaningo lomdlavuza kanye nabantu abazimisele ukuzidela. Imihlatshelo efana nokunikela ngomnkantsha.
Uba isikhathi esingakanani esibhedlela ngemva kokuhlinzwa?
Isikhathi sokubuyisela isiguli ukuze sibuyele esimweni esivamile siyahlukahluka kuye ngokuthi isimo sesiguli kanye nohlobo lokufakelwa kabusha, kodwa ngokuvamile sithatha cishe amasonto amabili kuya kwangu-2. Ngalesi sikhathi kufanele uhlale esibhedlela noma uvakashele isikhungo sokufakelwa nsuku zonke okungenani amasonto ambalwa.
Yimiphi imiphumela emibi ngemva kwe-BMT?
• Amagciwane
• Amazinga aphansi weplatelet (thrombocytopenia) namaseli abomvu egazi (i-anemia)
• Ubuhlungu
• Uhudo, isicanucanu, nokuhlanza
• Izinkinga zokuphefumula
• Ukulimala kwesitho: Ukulimala kwesibindi nenhliziyo okwesikhashana (okwesikhashana).
• Ukwehluleka kokuxhunyelelwa
• I-Graft-versus-host disease(GVHD)
Ayini amalungiselelo ngaphambi kokuhlinzwa?
Udokotela wakho uzofuna ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi umzimba wakho uqine ngokwanele ukuze udlule ekufakweni komnkantsha. Ukuhlolwa okudingeka kwenziwe okungase kuqhutshwe ezinsukwini ezimbalwa okuhlanganisa:
• Ukuhlolwa kwegazi ukubona ukuthi isibindi nezinso zakho zisebenza kahle kangakanani futhi uqiniseke ukuthi awunaso isifo esithathelwanayo.
• Isifuba X-ray ukubheka izimpawu zesifo samaphaphu noma ukutheleleka
• I-Electrocardiogram (EKG) ukuhlola isigqi senhliziyo yakho
• I-Echocardiogram (Echo) ukuze ubheke izinkinga enhliziyweni yakho kanye nemithambo yegazi ezungezile
• I-CT scan ukuze ubone ukuthi izitho zakho ziphile saka
• I-Biopsy ukusiza udokotela wakho abikezele ukuthi umdlavuza wakho ungase ubuye yini ngemva kokufakelwa.
Ukufaka i-catheter (ishubhu elide elincanyana) emthanjeni omkhulu entanyeni noma esifubeni ozohlala lapho phakathi nokufakelwa kwakho. Lokhu kuzokwenza kube lula ukukunikeza umuthi. Ungase futhi uthole amaseli amasha omnkantsha anempilo ngawo.
I-Chemotherapy kanye Nemisebe: Ngaphambi kokufakelwa, uzodinga ukwenza i-chemotherapy futhi mhlawumbe nemisebe ukuze ubulale amangqamuzana omdlavuza emzimbeni wakho futhi uvule indawo yamaseli amasha. Ziphinde zibambezele amasosha akho omzimba ukuze umzimba wakho ube maningi amathuba okuthi wamukele ukufakelwa.
Kungani i-Iran?
Ngisho noma ukwenza ukufakelwa komnkantsha e-Iran kubiza izindleko, ukuqhubeka nokwelashwa nochwepheshe abangochwepheshe kanye namaqembu okunakekelwa kwezokwelapha angochwepheshe kanye nobuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe kuthuthukisa izinga le-Iran lize lifike ezweni lesithathu ngokwenza i-BMT phakathi kwawo wonke amanye amazwe anobuchwepheshe obufanayo umhlaba. Kukhona ibhange eligcwele futhi elithuthukisiwe lamathambo kanye ne-stem cell transplant bank e-Iran. Futhi, izindawo zokugcina igazi nokunye ukufakelwa kwezitho zomzimba kusebenza ngokugcwele ezweni lakithi. Ngokucabangela izindleko zendawo yokuhlala nokudla ngesikhathi sokuvuselelwa okuphansi kakhulu kunamazwe ase-Asia naseYurophu, i-Iran iyizwe elikahle lokwenza ukufakelwa komnkantsha wamathambo.
Ukuqhathaniswa kokufakelwa komnkantsha phakathi kwe-Iran namanye amazwe
Njengamanje, amazwe ambalwa anjenge-India, Mexico, USA, Turkey, Jordan, S.Korea, Germany, ne-Iran anobuchwepheshe nobuchwepheshe bokufaka umnkantsha. Ngokuvamile, ukufakelwa kwe-Stem Cells noma i-BMT kubiza kakhulu e-USA noma emazweni aseYurophu. Isibonelo, kubiza ngaphezu kwe-300,000 $ eYurophu. Nakuba izindleko zokufakelwa komnkantsha e-Iran zilinganiselwa ku-60,000 $ ephansi kakhulu kunamanye amazwe ase-Asia njenge-India okubikezelwa ukuthi izoba ngaphezu kuka-83000 $.
Uma ungathanda ukuthi odokotela abahlinzayo abangcono kakhulu ezibhedlela ezisezingeni lokuqala zase-Iran bakuhlinze, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo ukhululeke futhi ungabi nengcindezi phakathi nokwelashwa kwakho futhi uhlale e-Iran ngezindleko ezifanele, njengekhaya lakho, thintana no I-Cancerfax Ababonisi.
