Um diagn\u00f3stico de cancro pode, por vezes, parecer surrealista, especialmente quando se tem 50 e poucos anos e n\u00e3o h\u00e1 antecedentes familiares da doen\u00e7a. Foi esse o caso de Debbie Besse, de Fairhaven. Debbie conta a sua experi\u00eancia com o cancro da mama e atribui aos seus prestadores de cuidados de sa\u00fade da Southcoast Health o m\u00e9rito de lhe terem dado um novo sopro de vida e de a terem sensibilizado para a import\u00e2ncia dos rastreios, uma vez que reconhecemos a import\u00e2ncia do cancro da mama. M\u00eas de sensibiliza\u00e7\u00e3o para o cancro da mama<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come\u00e7ou como um check-up regular com o seu prestador de cuidados prim\u00e1rios, Dr. John Podkowa<\/a>. Visitar o Dr. Podkowa era uma pr\u00e1tica habitual para Debbie, uma vez que ela sofre de um problema de tiroide. Ela \u00e9 paciente do Dr. Podkowa h\u00e1 10 anos e s\u00f3 tem cr\u00edticas positivas quando fala dele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Receber a sua mamografia programada regularmente <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"O Dr. Podkowa n\u00e3o s\u00f3 me ouve, como por vezes at\u00e9 consegue prever as perguntas que posso ter antes mesmo de eu as fazer - e tem sempre as respostas\", diz Debbie. \"Ele \u00e9 simplesmente maravilhoso.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As capacidades de escuta do Dr. Podkowa resultam da sua excel\u00eancia cl\u00ednica, que ele demonstrou durante o check-up da Debbie. Ao rever a sua ficha, ele rapidamente reparou que ela n\u00e3o tinha feito a mamografia regularmente programada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Eu tinha sido negligente com a mamografia e n\u00e3o a fazia h\u00e1 alguns anos\", diz ela. \"O Dr. Podkowa reconheceu isso e, com a sua maneira am\u00e1vel e gentil, insistiu para que eu fizesse uma.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nesse dia, saiu do consult\u00f3rio com uma mamografia marcada para o Southcoast Health Breast Center uma semana mais tarde. A partir desse momento, foi um turbilh\u00e3o. Debbie recebeu a sua mamografia, os resultados foram partilhados com a radiologia e, um dia depois, foi-lhe marcada uma bi\u00f3psia de seguimento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"O resultado foi um cancro\", diz ela. \"Foi tudo muito r\u00e1pido. Passei da visita do Dr. Podkowa para a mamografia, para a bi\u00f3psia e depois para a cirurgia no espa\u00e7o de uma semana.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Um diagn\u00f3stico chocante e emocionalmente devastador <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Debbie lembra-se de ter ficado chocada e emocionalmente abalada. Ficou a saber que, apesar de ser jovem e de n\u00e3o ter antecedentes de cancro da mama na fam\u00edlia, este pode acontecer. No entanto, atribui a sua experi\u00eancia positiva aos cuidados cont\u00ednuos que recebeu dos seus prestadores de servi\u00e7os de Southcoast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Foi fenomenal\", diz ela. \"Desde o Dr. Podkowa at\u00e9 \u00e0 minha oncologista, a Dra. Susan Kim, todos foram muito profissionais e trataram dos meus cuidados de forma graciosa, mantendo-se sempre a par de tudo.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debbie partilha que o seu diagn\u00f3stico inesperado foi atenuado pelos cuidados que recebeu. Sentiu-se sempre reconfortada pelo profissionalismo dos seus m\u00e9dicos e do pessoal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Senti-me verdadeiramente confiante nos cuidados que estava a receber\", diz ela. \"Isso fez-me sentir que tudo ia correr bem.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Um novo cap\u00edtulo da vida <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Debbie transmite esta mensagem a todas as mulheres: \"N\u00e3o deixem de fazer os vossos exames de sa\u00fade regulares. Fa\u00e7am-nos. Embora, por vezes, sejam desconfort\u00e1veis, vale a pena reservar um tempo para os fazer. Nunca parta do princ\u00edpio, com base no historial ou na idade, de que n\u00e3o existe potencial [para uma doen\u00e7a].\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oito anos mais tarde, Debbie continua sem cancro. Ela visita o Dr. Kim anualmente e continua a ser uma paciente fiel a Dr. Podkowa<\/a>. Este m\u00eas, Debbie est\u00e1 ansiosa por se casar e construir um futuro com o seu marido. Ela atribui este cap\u00edtulo da sua vida aos cuidados excepcionais dos seus fornecedores da Southcoast Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
