Isikhathi sokulinda imiphumela siyahluka kakhulu kuye ngokuthi yikuphi ukuhlolwa okwenziwa esigulini. Imiphumela yokuhlolwa okuthile ingase itholakale ngosuku olufanayo, kuyilapho eminye ingase ithathe izinsuku noma amaviki ukubuya.
Ukungazi ukuthi imiphumela izobe isilungile nini futhi ungaqondi ukuthi kungani ithatha isikhathi esithile kungabangela ukukhathazeka. Zama ukungethuki uma imiphumela ithatha isikhathi eside kunokulindelekile. Lokhu kungenzeka futhi akusho ukuthi kukhona okungalungile.
Kungani kufanele ngilinde imiphumela?
Kubalulekile ukuthi yonke imiphumela yokuhlolwa ibuyekezwe kahle ngudokotela noma ithimba lezokwelapha. Kubalulekile futhi ukuthi bahlole uhlobo oluncane lwe-lymphoma . Bazobe sebecabangela izici ngazinye futhi banqume ukwelashwa okungcono kakhulu kwesiguli.
Nakuba kukhona ukulinda okulindelekile, hlala uqinisekisa ukuthi unesikhathi sokulandelela ukuze uthole imiphumela yakho. Ungabuza udokotela wakho o-oda ukuhlolwa ukuthi kufanele ulindele isikhathi esingakanani ukuze imiphumela itholakale ukuze wenze i-aphoyintimenti.
Uma i-aphoyintimenti ingenziwanga ukuze uthole imiphumela yakho, shayela ihhovisi likadokotela wakho wenze i-aphoyintimenti.
Nakuba odokotela abaningi bekubiza uma kukhona okukukhathazayo emiphumeleni yakho yokuhlolwa, akubona bonke abakwenzayo. Futhi kuyaqabukela, imiphumela ilahleke noma iphuthelwe. Yenza njalo, futhi ugcine isikhathi sokulandelela nodokotela wakho ukuze uthole imiphumela yokuhlolwa kwegazi, amaskeni kanye nama-biopsies.
Kungani kungathatha isikhathi eside kangaka?
Ukuhlolwa kwegazi okujwayelekile kungase kulunge amahora ngemva kokuthathwa kwesampula. Imiphumela ye-biopsy evamile ingase ilunge ngokushesha ngemva kosuku o-1 noma o-2 ngemva kokuthathwa kwayo. Imiphumela yokuskena ingase ithathe izinsuku ezimbalwa noma amaviki ukubuya.
Amasampula egazi ahlolwa elabhorethri. Ngezinye izikhathi amasampula e-biopsy angase adinge ukuthunyelwa elabhorethri ekhethekile. Lapho zizocutshungulwa futhi zihunyushwe ngodokotela bezifo. Izikena zibuyekezwa yi-radiologist. Bese umbiko unikezwa udokotela wakho kanye nodokotela wakho. Konke lokhu kuthatha isikhathi esengeziwe, nokho kuningi okwenzekayo ngesikhathi usalindile.
Kwesinye isikhathi le miphumela ibe isibuyekezwa futhi emhlanganweni lapho abantu abambalwa abahlukene bethimba lezokwelapha babuyekeza le miphumela. Lokhu kubizwa nge-multidisciplinary team meeting (MDT). Uma lonke ulwazi selutholakala udokotela wakho uzohlela ukuxoxa nawe ngalokhu.
Odokotela bakho bazokwazi ukukunikeza umbono mayelana nokuthi imiphumela yakho izothatha isikhathi esingakanani ukubuya. Ukulinda imiphumela kungaba yisikhathi esinzima, ngokuqondakalayo ungase ukhathazeke kakhulu ngalesi sikhathi. Kufanele ukhulume nodokotela wakho ukuze uthole ukuthi kuzothatha isikhathi esingakanani ukuthi imiphumela ibuye. Kungasiza futhi ukuxoxa ngalokhu nomndeni wakho kanye nodokotela wakho.
Ungashayela neLymphoma Nurse Support Line ku-1800 953 081 noma nge-imeyili. nurse@lymphoma.org.au uma ungathanda ukuxoxa nganoma yiziphi izici ze-lymphoma yakho.
