UCody Insley Campbell----I-Multiple Myeloma

I-BCMA CAR-T isebenze kahle kakhulu esigulini esine-multiple myeloma esivela eCanada, futhi isiguli sayichaza njengento engakaze ibonwe eminyakeni engaphezu kweshumi yokugula.

Amaviki ayi-7 eShayina. Ukube ubungibuze eminyakeni eyi-15 eyedlule ukuthi impilo yami izoba kuphi namuhla, ngeke eminyakeni eyisigidi ngabe ngiqagele ukuthi ngizobe ngihamba nge-Facebook ngiphumule embhedeni wehhotela eShanghai, eShayina. Ngemva kokudla okukhulu, okumnandi mina noKelsey Campbell sixoxa ngendlela yokuchitha usuku lwethu lokugcina lapha eShayina njengoba sibuyela ekhaya ngemva kwamasonto ayi-7 okwelashwa nokunakekelwa okujulile.

Sizibeke engcupheni yokuza lapha ukuzokwelashwa, singakhulumi ulimi, singaqondi isiko noma sazi okuningi ngeShayina. Njengoba kunezinketho ezimbalwa eCanada, sazizwa sengathi izinketho zethu zilinganiselwe kakhulu.

Kuvame ukushiwo ukuthi ingozi enkulu iza nomvuzo omkhulu. Njengoba lokhu kuskena kwakamuva kuzofakazela, sijabule kakhulu ukuthi sithathe leyo ngozi futhi savuzwa ngenjabulo ngesikhathi sokuqala siyibuka. Angikaze ngibe nemiphumela efana nale eminyakeni eyi-11 yokwelashwa futhi lokhu kwenzeka ngemva kwezinsuku ezingama-30 kuphela! Ngizizwa ngimangalisa ngokomzimba, yize ngikhathele kakhulu futhi ngingazizwa ngokuqinisekile ukuthi umzimba wami udlule empini. Odokotela bangikhumbuza njalo ukuthi ngingaziqali njengoba kubaluleke kakhulu ukuphumula nokuphumula. Kunjengokungathi bayangazi mina kanye nomkhuba wami omubi wokuthi “ake sikwenze” bese ngiyahamba ngizikhandle futhi ngidale izinkinga eziningi.

Ingabe sesiphumile ehlathini? Cha, okwamanje futhi ngizoqhubeka nokuphila impilo egxile ezintweni zansuku zonke kodwa okokuqala ngqa nginomuzwa wokuthi esikhundleni sokuba ngisehlathini elimnyama ngingenandawo yokujika, ngingase ngibe semaphethelweni ezihlahla ngijabulela umthunzi.

Ngaphambi

Ngemva

Ngizizwa nginenhlanhla futhi ngibusisiwe kakhulu ukuthi ngidlule kule nqubo. Ngiyaqaphela ukuthi bekungeke kwenzeke ngaphandle kokusekelwa yiwo wonke umuntu (futhi ngisho yiwo wonke umuntu).

Kubo bonke labo bantu ababhekene nezinselelo noma abazithola besenkingeni yesinqumo esinzima, iseluleko sami kini sibhalwe kuma-t-shirts emafasiteleni ezitolo yonke indawo, vele wenze lokho! Yenza lokho bese uthatha leyo ngozi ngoba awazi ukuthi ingakusa kuphi. Savuzwa ngemiphumela emihle kanye nokunakekelwa ngesihawu okuvela eqenjini elikhulu labahlengikazi, kanye nokuxilongwa okufundile kakhulu nokuhlakaniphile okuvela eqenjini lodokotela esikhungweni esikhethekile. Siphinde saba nokuhlangenwe nakho okuhle kwamasiko futhi yize singazange sibone okuningi ezweni ngendlela ebesingathanda ngayo, izingxenye esizibonile zaholela embonweni ohluke ngokuphelele ngezwe, isiko kanye nomphakathi.
