Becky Zora es una profesora de arte de instituto jubilada de 72 a\u00f1os que vive en Mattapoisett. Pasa los meses m\u00e1s c\u00e1lidos paseando por los senderos naturales de su comunidad, nadando en Buzzard's Bay y trabajando en el jard\u00edn. Le gusta empezar los proyectos en su terraza acristalada con antelaci\u00f3n, mucho antes de que empiece la primavera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detecci\u00f3n precoz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Del mismo modo, Becky siempre ha sido proactiva con su salud, sus visitas rutinarias y sus revisiones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mi salud es mi prioridad y nunca he dejado de lado mi cuidado personal\", afirma. \"Cada vez que me avisaban de que era hora de ir a hacerme una mamograf\u00eda, nunca fallaba porque sab\u00eda que el riesgo de c\u00e1ncer de mama es real\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gracias a esta dedicaci\u00f3n, Becky se sorprendi\u00f3 cuando el a\u00f1o pasado su equipo de cuidados detect\u00f3 unos bultos preocupantes en una mamograf\u00eda rutinaria; se trataba de un c\u00e1ncer de mama incipiente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becky fue remitida inmediatamente al cirujano de mama Dra. Keren Braithwaite<\/a>Mary Catherine y el equipo del Centro de Atenci\u00f3n al Paciente. Centro de Mama de Southcoast Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conexi\u00f3n con su equipo asistencial<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gracias a mi equipo asistencial, nunca me enfrent\u00e9 a nada para lo que no estuviera preparada\", dice Becky. \"Durante una de mis biopsias, una enfermera encantadora me habl\u00f3 del procedimiento, mientras otra me frotaba el hombro. Todos all\u00ed sab\u00edan lo que necesitaba en ese momento\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke's Hospital, donde Becky se someti\u00f3 a una doble mastectom\u00eda para extirparle el tejido mamario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Con el apoyo y la profesionalidad del Dr. Braithwaite, Dr. Gagnon<\/a> y Dr. Rizk,<\/a> Tom\u00e9 la decisi\u00f3n de someterme a una doble mastectom\u00eda, aunque s\u00f3lo ten\u00eda c\u00e1ncer en la mama izquierda. No quer\u00eda enfrentarme a la quimioterapia ni a la radioterapia, por el momento de mi vida en el que me encontraba. Hablamos \u00edntima y profundamente sobre mi decisi\u00f3n\", dice. Afortunadamente, la decisi\u00f3n de Becky de someterse a una doble mastectom\u00eda result\u00f3 acertada cuando se le detect\u00f3 c\u00e1ncer en la mama opuesta tras realizarle una prueba patol\u00f3gica en profundidad despu\u00e9s de la intervenci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desde el d\u00eda de la operaci\u00f3n hasta el alta, Becky se sinti\u00f3 como en casa. \"Estaba muy agradecida por haber podido recibir este nivel de atenci\u00f3n cerca de casa. No dud\u00e9 ni una sola vez en confiar en ning\u00fan especialista, equipo o centro de Southcoast\", afirma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al reflexionar sobre su experiencia con el c\u00e1ncer de mama, Becky agradece las relaciones que estableci\u00f3 con su equipo m\u00e9dico. Se sinti\u00f3 continuamente apoyada, con un plan de tratamiento personalizado lleno de llamadas informativas para responder a todas sus preguntas y prepararla para lo que estaba por venir f\u00edsica y mentalmente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recuperaci\u00f3n en el Centro de Mama de Southcoast<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becky, ahora en remisi\u00f3n, ha superado felizmente el control de los seis meses y sigue controlando su salud. A medida que recupera poco a poco la energ\u00eda, est\u00e1 deseando reanudar muchas de sus aficiones. Est\u00e1 impaciente por que llegue el buen tiempo y pueda sumergir los pies en el agua y volver a nadar todos los veranos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuando reflexiona sobre su motivaci\u00f3n para seguir adelante, recuerda la firme voluntad de su difunta madre y el apoyo emocional de su difunto marido, que siempre le recordaba a Becky su valor. Agradece a su hija Kiah y a su prima Carla su inspiraci\u00f3n y sus risas. Con los cuidados y la compasi\u00f3n del equipo de Southcoast Health, aprendi\u00f3 a adaptarse a su enfermedad y a la operaci\u00f3n y se convirti\u00f3 en la mujer sana que es hoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tome las riendas de su salud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becky atribuye el \u00e9xito de su tratamiento a la detecci\u00f3n precoz de su c\u00e1ncer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anima a todo el mundo a ser pionero de su propia salud, a hacerse visitas y revisiones rutinarias y a no perderse nunca una mamograf\u00eda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
