Ntambama yakamuva ekhishini labo elikhanyiswe ngokugqamile, abasinde kumdlavuza uPatricia Rhodes no-Evette Knight nabanye babuthana kuhhavini wokuhambisa kanye nepani eligcwele amakhowe. Udokotela wezokudla ekwelapheni umdlavuza u-Megan Laszlo, RD, uchaze ukuthi kungani bengakwazi ukuwanyakazisa okwamanje. “Sizozama ukuthi singawaguquli aze abe nsundu,” kusho yena.
Ngisho egqoke imaski yakhe, uRhodes, owasinda ngempumelelo umdlavuza wesibeletho ngonyaka odlule, wayekwazi ukuhogela ukudla okumnandi. “Uqinisile, asikho isidingo sokunyakazisa,” kusho yena, epheqa amakhowe agayiwe. Eduze, u-Knight uqobe u-anyanisi oluhlaza ukuze enze irayisi elithosiwe lamakhowe, kuyilapho abanye bengeza ubisi ebhodweni ukuze bathole inkomishi kashokoledi oshisayo onempushana yamakhowe.
Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi amakhowe angasiza ekusekeleni umsebenzi wamaseli omzimba alwa nomdlavuza. Amakhowa yiwona okugxilwe kuwo Kokudla Okunempilo Esifundweni Sekhishi. Lezi zifundo ziyingxenye yohlelo lweCedars-Sinai lwezeMpilo, Ukuqina, kanye Nokusinda ukuze kweseke iziguli ezinomdlavuza kanye nemindeni yazo. Ezempilo, Ukuqina, kanye Nokusinda muva nje kuthuthele esikhungweni esisha, esakhelwe inhloso futhi saqala kabusha amakilasi omuntu siqu okokuqala ngqa selokhu kwaqala ubhubhane lwe-COVID-19.
Ngaphezu kwendawo yekhishi enamakhabethe okhuni olula, ama-countertops ensimbi engagqwali kanye nezinto zikagesi ezikhazimulayo, lesi sikhala sibuye sibe nemishini yokuzivocavoca engabekelwa kalula amakilasi e-yoga, kanye namakamelo engeziwe eminye imibuthano kanye nomtholampilo ozinikele wezokwelapha phezulu.
U-Arash Asher, MD, umqondisi wezokuhlunyeleliswa komdlavuza kanye nokusinda eCedars-Sinai Cancer Center, ojoyine isikhungo sezempilo sezemfundo ngo-2008, uthe nakuba iziguli ezinomdlavuza zivame ukuba nohlelo olucacile lokwelashwa uma zelaphekile umdlavuza, abavamile ukuthola isiqondiso mayelana nendlela yokunqoba izinselele zomzimba, zengqondo nezokusinda eziza nesifo nokwelashwa.
“Othile wake wathi umuntu ‘angakhululeka ezifweni,’ kodwa lokho akusho ngempela ukuthi akanaso isifo,” kusho u-Asher. “Bengihlale ngikhumbula leyo ngcaphuno, futhi enye yezinhloso ezinkulu zephrojekthi yethu ukunikeza umhlahlandlela wokusiza abantu ukubhekana nezinye zalezi zinkinga.”
Okwaqala njengomtholampilo olula wokuhlunyeleliswa kwezimilo manje sekuphenduke ithimba elididiyelwe lodokotela abalungisa isimo, abahlengikazi abahlengikazi, abelapha ngokomzimba, abelapha ngobuciko, izazi ze-neuropsychologists, osonhlalakahle kanye nezazi zokudla okunomsoco.
Impilo, ukuqina, kanye nemisebenzi yokusinda igxile “emqondweni, emzimbeni, nasemphefumulweni,” kusho u-Asher, futhi ihlanganisa yonke into kusukela ekunyakazeni nase-yoga emnene kuye kwezobuciko, ingqondo, ukuphila okunenjongo, nemikhuba enempilo. Kukhona ngisho neklabhu yezincwadi, ephethwe uprofesa wezincwadi, ebheka izincwadi ngokombono womuntu owasinda emdlavuza.
Lapho ubhubhane lwe-COVID-19 luhlasela, u-Asher nethimba lakhe bazivumelanisa nezimo futhi banikeza lezi zifundo njengento engokoqobo.
"Yonke into ihamba ngokushesha okukhulu, futhi sisakwazi ukugcina umuzwa othile womphakathi," kusho u-Asher. “Amakilasi afana nekilasi lethu lobuchopho be-chemo, abizwa nge-Out of the Fog, aheha abantu abavela ezweni lonke abebengeke bakwazi ukuya - okuyizindaba ezimnandi kulezi zikhathi ezinzima."
U-Knight, umklami wezangaphakathi e-Los Angeles, welashelwa umdlavuza webele ngemisebe ngo-2020. Ngasekupheleni kuka-2021, udokotela wakhe we-oncologist wamdlulisela eSikhungweni Sokuphila kahle, Ukuqina, Nokusinda. Uthe izikhathi zokwelapha ngobuciko kanye nohlelo lokuzivocavoca kwamsiza ukuthi abhekane nezinhlungu zamalunga, ukukhathala, neminye imiphumela emibi yokwelashwa.
“Ukuba lapha nokudlala imidlalo sekuvele kwaba unkulunkulu,” kusho uKnight. “Kungigqugquzele ukuthi ngivuke ngiphume ngiyodlala ezemidlalo, nokulinganisa kwami sekungcono, ukuqina kwami kuye kwaba ngcono, kwangisiza nasemphefumulweni.”
UKnight uthe ukukwazi ukuxhumana nabantu abakuqondayo ukuthi ubhekene nani kube yimpilo kuye.
"Iziguli kanye nemindeni yazo zivame ukudinga ukusekelwa njengoba zijwayela esimweni esisha esivamile ngemva kokuphila nomdlavuza," kusho uScott Irwin, MD, PhD, umqondisi wezinhlelo zokusekela isiguli nomndeni eCedars-Sinai Cancer Center. "Ukuqalisa kabusha imisebenzi eyintandokazi kanye nokuthola injabulo ekuphileni kwansuku zonke kubalulekile, futhi ukuthuthela Impilo Enhle, Ukuqina Nokusinda endaweni entsha kusinika ithuba lokukhulisa uhlelo lwethu lokusekela."
“Lesi isengezo esihle ezinhlelweni zethu zomuntu siqu,” kusho u-Asher. “Esikudlayo kungaba nomthelela omkhulu empilweni yethu iyonke, izinga lempilo yethu, kanye nokululama, kodwa njengodokotela, ngokuvamile asinaso isikhathi sokufundisa iziguli ngezinzuzo zokupheka ekhaya, ukupheka okusekelwe ezitshalweni, kanye nemininingwane efana nendlela yokuhlanganisa i-turmeric namanye amakhambi, indlela yokukhetha isitshalo seqanda, noma ngisho nendlela yokusika u-anyanisi.”
UKnight uthe ulibonge ithuba lokuthuthukisa ulwazi lwakhe ngokudla okunempilo ngosizo lukangoti wezokudla obhekelele umdlavuza.
“Ngangazi ukuthi ziningi izinto engangingazenza ukuze ngithuthukise impilo yami, kodwa ngangingazenzi,” kusho yena. “Ngakho bengifuna ukuthola izeluleko eqenjini eliwuqondayo umdlavuza nokusinda komdlavuza.”
Ngemva kwekilasi, abafundi bathatha izithelo zomsebenzi wabo futhi babonisa intshiseko yabo ngalokho ababekufundile. URhodes uthe uzohamba nolwazi lwakhe asanda kuluthola ekhaya.
“Kuyajabulisa futhi kuyazuzisa,” kusho uRhodes. “Uma kutholakala ukuthi unomdlavuza, udinga ukudla okunezakhi ezitholakala ezitshalweni kanye nokuzivocavoca ukuze unciphise ingozi yokuphinde uvele.”
U-Asher waphawula ukuthi esinye isici esibalulekile sokuhlela mathupha ukudala umphakathi lapho ababambiqhaza bengafunda khona futhi bancikane komunye nomunye, njengoba isizungu sihlotshaniswa nokuvela kabusha kwezinhlobo eziningi zomdlavuza.
“Awukho umuthi ongaxazulula le nkinga ngendlela ukuxhumana kwabantu, njengokuhlala nomunye umuntu,” kusho u-Asher. “Indlela esiphila ngayo, indlela esicabanga ngayo, indlela esiziphatha ngayo, indlela esizikhuza ngayo, inethonya, hhayi nje endleleni esizizwa ngayo.
Isimemezelo sikaMongameli waphambilini uJoe Biden sokuthi usenomdlavuza wendlala yesinye sekwenze kwavuselelwa ukunakwa komdlavuza wesibili kwabesilisa. Ungomunye wabesilisa abayi-1 kwabayi-8 abatholakala benomdlavuza wendlala yesinye…
I-hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) iwukwelashwa okukhethekile kwabanye abantu abanomdlavuza osusabalele emgodini wesisu (peritoneum).
Ocwaningweni lwangaphambi komtholampilo, ososayensi baseCedars-Sinai baveza ukuthi izinguquko ezihlobene neminyaka emangqamuzaneni azungeze izimila zenza kanjani i-melanoma, uhlobo olubulalayo lomdlavuza wesikhumba, okungenzeka ukuthi usabalale ezigulini ezineminyaka engama-70 nangaphezulu. Ucwaningo lwabo, olushicilelwe kujenali…
