Ukunqoba I-Leukemia: Uhambo Lwentombazane Encane Lokuqina Nokuthemba Esibhedlela iLu Daopei
NgoNovemba 2016, uWenwen (alias) oneminyaka engu-11 ubudala watholakala ene-acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia, ukuxilongwa okwafika ngaphandle kwesixwayiso. Isimo sakhe sanda ngokushesha, ngezigameko ezisongela ukuphila nsuku zonke ezithatha cishe amasonto amathathu. Abazali bakhe babedabukile, belwa nokwesaba nokungaqiniseki nsuku zonke. Uma ebheka emuva, unina kaWenwen ukhumbula lezo zinsuku ezimnyama ngokubonga nokuziqhenya—ebonga ngothando nokusekelwa abakuthola, futhi ikakhulukazi ngokunakekelwa ngesihawu okunikezwa yithimba laseLu Daopei Hospital.
Lapho ukwelashwa kokuqala kunganele ukwelapha i-leukemia yakhe, umndeni kaWenwen wafuna ezinye izinketho futhi ekugcineni wanconywa iSibhedlela iLu Daopei ngezinye iziguli. Naphezu kokungaziwa nezinqumo ezinzima ezaziseza, baqala uhambo lwabo besuka eXinjiang baya eHebei befuna ithemba. Umama kaWenwen uchaza impumuzo nokubonga kwabo okukhulu: “Ukukhetha iSibhedlela iLu Daopei kwakuyisinqumo esihle kakhulu esasingasenza. Ngaphandle kwalesi sibhedlela noDkt. Zhou Jiarui, kungenzeka ukuthi asisekho ndawonye namuhla.”
Lapho efika, uWenwen wangeniswa ngokushesha, futhi ithimba lezokwelapha, eliholwa nguDkt. Zhou Jiarui, lanikeza ukunakekelwa okumangalisayo, lasiza umndeni ukuqonda ubunzima be-leukemia ngenkathi libafaka isibindi nethemba. Ngokusebenzisa i-chemotherapy eminingana kanye nokufakelwa umdlavuza okulinganayo okuvela kuyise, indlela kaWenwen yokululama yaqala. Nakuba kwakuyinselele, ukufakelwa umdlavuza kwaba yimpumelelo, futhi naphezu kwezinkinga ezifana nokutheleleka ngegciwane kanye ne-GVHD yesibindi, ithimba lesibhedlela laphatha ukwelashwa kwakhe ngempumelelo.
Manje, eminyakeni eyisikhombisa ngemva kokufakelwa, uWenwen usephinde waqala kabusha impilo yakhe yansuku zonke kanye nezifundo zakhe. Ukhule waba ngowesifazane osemusha ozethembayo futhi ulungiselela ingqophamlando ebalulekile empilweni yakhe: ukuhlolwa kokungena ekolishi kuzwelonke ngoJuni.
Ecabanga ngohambo lwabo, unina kaWenwen wabelana ngezifundo ezimbili ezijulile: “Uthando ludala izimangaliso, futhi ukuphikelela kuletha ithemba.” Ugcizelela ukuthi uthando olungaguquki lomndeni kanye nokuzinikela kochwepheshe bezempilo kubalulekile ekusizeni iziguli zithole amandla okuphikelela. Ukwelashwa kwe-Leukemia kungaba inqubo ende neyinselele, kodwa ngokubekezela, ithemba lihlala likhona.
Namuhla, indaba kaWenwen iwumthombo wogqozi kweminye imindeni ebhekene nezimpi ezifanayo. “Kuyo yonke imindeni ehamba kule ndlela, yazini ukuthi ubusika buzodlula, futhi intwasahlobo izofika. Siyanihalalisela futhi sinifisela ukuthula nempilo yabo bonke.”
