He ʻokoʻa ka manawa kali no nā hopena ma muli o ka hoʻāʻo e hana ʻia nei no ka mea maʻi. Hiki ke loaʻa nā hualoaʻa no kekahi mau hoʻāʻo i ka lā hoʻokahi, a ʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe e lawe i nā lā a i ʻole mau pule e hoʻi mai.
ʻO ka ʻike ʻole i ka wā e mākaukau ai nā hopena a ʻaʻole maopopo i ke kumu e hoʻolōʻihi ai lākou i kahi manawa hiki ke hopohopo. E ho'āʻo e hopohopo inā lōʻihi ka hopena ma mua o ka mea i manaʻo ʻia. Hiki ke hana kēia a ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo he hewa.
No ke aha e pono ai iaʻu e kali i nā hopena?
He mea nui e nānā pono ʻia nā hopena hōʻike a pau e ke kauka a i ʻole ka hui lapaʻau. He mea nui nō hoʻi e ʻike lākou i ke ʻano kikoʻī o ka lymphoma. A laila e noʻonoʻo lākou i nā kumu pilikino a hoʻoholo i ka lāʻau maikaʻi loa no ka mea maʻi.
ʻOiai aia kahi kali i manaʻo ʻia, e hoʻopaʻa mau ʻoe i kahi manawa e loaʻa ai kāu hopena. Hiki iā ʻoe ke nīnau i kāu kauka nāna e kauoha i nā hoʻokolohua pehea ka lōʻihi āu e manaʻo ai e kali no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā hopena i hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i kahi manawa.
Inā ʻaʻole i hana ʻia kahi manawa no ka loaʻa ʻana o kāu mau hopena, e kelepona i ke keʻena o kāu kauka a hana i kahi manawa.
ʻOiai ʻo ka hapa nui o nā kauka e kelepona iā ʻoe inā he mea hopohopo i kāu hopena hōʻike, ʻaʻole hana nā mea a pau. A kakaʻikahi, hiki ke nalo a nalo paha nā hopena. E hana mau, a e hoʻopaʻa i kāu kauka no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā hopena o nā hoʻāʻo koko, nā scans a me nā biopsies.
No ke aha e hiki ai ke lōʻihi?
He mau hola mākaukau paha nā hoʻāʻo koko maʻamau ma hope o ka lawe ʻana i ka hāpana. Hiki ke mākaukau nā hopena biopsy maʻamau i ka 1 a i ʻole 2 mau lā ma hope o ka lawe ʻana. He mau lā a he mau pule paha e hoʻi mai ai nā hopena scan.
Hoʻāʻo ʻia nā laʻana koko ma ke keʻena keʻena. I kekahi manawa pono e hoʻouna ʻia nā laʻana biopsy i kahi keʻena hana kūikawā. Ma laila e hana ʻia a wehewehe ʻia e nā pathologists. Nānā ʻia nā scans e ke kanaka radiologist. A laila loaʻa kahi hōʻike i kāu kauka a me GP. He manawa hou kēia a pau, akā naʻe, nui nā mea e hiki mai ana ke kali ʻoe.
I kekahi manawa e nānā hou ʻia kēia mau hopena ma kahi hālāwai kahi e nānā ai nā poʻe like ʻole mai ka hui lapaʻau i kēia mau hopena. Kapa ʻia kēia he hui hui multidisciplinary (MDT). Ke loaʻa nā ʻike a pau e hoʻonohonoho kāu kauka e kūkākūkā i kēia mau mea me ʻoe.
Hiki i kāu mau kauka ke hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka manaʻo e pili ana i ka lōʻihi o kāu hopena e hoʻi mai. He manawa paʻakikī ke kali ʻana i nā hopena, maopopo paha ke hopohopo nui ʻoe i kēia manawa. Pono ʻoe e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e ʻike i ka lōʻihi o ka hoʻi ʻana mai o nā hopena. Hiki ke kōkua pū ke kūkākūkā i kēia me kou ʻohana a me GP.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke kelepona i ka Lymphoma Nurse Support Line ma 1800 953 081 a i ʻole leka uila. kahu@lymphoma.org.au inā makemake ʻoe e kūkākūkā i kekahi ʻano o kāu lymphoma.
