J\u00e1 lhe tinha acontecido mais do que uma vez no passado. Desta vez, por\u00e9m, o radiologista suspeitou de cancro e encaminhou-a para Dra. Maureen Chung<\/a>, oncologista cir\u00fargico e diretor m\u00e9dico do Programa de cuidados da mama da Southcoast Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Senti que podia confiar na Dra. Chung imediatamente\", disse Patti. \"Ela \u00e9 maravilhosa e bem informada. Ouve tudo o que tem para dizer e n\u00e3o ado\u00e7a as coisas. Ela expressou as suas preocupa\u00e7\u00f5es, mas ao mesmo tempo fez-me sentir muito \u00e0 vontade.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patti \u00e9 uma contabilista reformada com tr\u00eas filhos e seis netos. Ela e o marido, Daniel, vivem em Portsmouth, RI, para onde se mudaram da sua cidade natal, Chicago, h\u00e1 30 anos. Com um historial de cancro na fam\u00edlia, Patti fazia mamografias desde os 35 anos e suspeitava que, um dia, o rastreio revelaria uma doen\u00e7a maligna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Dra. Chung disse a Patti para n\u00e3o se preocupar mais. Como m\u00e9dica de Patti, disse ela, a sua fun\u00e7\u00e3o era preocupar-se - primeiro com a exist\u00eancia ou n\u00e3o de cancro e depois com a melhor forma de utilizar os vastos recursos e conhecimentos da Southcoast para o tratar. A Dra. Chung garantiu a Patti que a ajudaria a ultrapassar a situa\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ela disse-me: \"Vamos tirar-te as preocupa\u00e7\u00f5es\", e foi o que fizeram\", conta Patti. \"Nunca senti que n\u00e3o ia ficar bem. Toda a gente l\u00e1 me fez sentir confiante.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A biopsia revelou a exist\u00eancia de cancro no canal de leite, mas este estava encapsulado e os m\u00e9dicos de Patti acreditavam que n\u00e3o se tinha espalhado. Patti leu rapidamente sobre a sua doen\u00e7a e as op\u00e7\u00f5es de tratamento e, depois de fazer muitas perguntas, optou pela cirurgia conservadora da mama, que remove o tecido canceroso deixando a maior parte da mama poss\u00edvel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quando tomou a decis\u00e3o, \"muitas coisas aconteceram muito rapidamente\", disse. \"Fiquei muito grata pela rapidez. N\u00e3o sou o tipo de pessoa que gosta de se sentar e esperar.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Em sete semanas, teve 28 consultas m\u00e9dicas, incluindo testes gen\u00e9ticos e uma reuni\u00e3o com Dr. Tushar Kumar,<\/a> um oncologista de radia\u00e7\u00e3o de Southcoast. Tamb\u00e9m foi submetida a quatro procedimentos, come\u00e7ando com a biopsia e a coloca\u00e7\u00e3o de um fio para localizar o local onde o cirurgi\u00e3o poderia obter margens limpas, ou seja, tecido sem cancro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Em junho, foi submetida a uma cirurgia no Hospital Memorial de Charlton<\/a> para remover o tumor e regressou a casa no mesmo dia. Depois, em julho, foi-lhe inserido um cateter para se preparar para a braquiterapia, uma terapia de radia\u00e7\u00e3o direcionada que envolve a implanta\u00e7\u00e3o de material radioativo para danificar o ADN das c\u00e9lulas cancer\u00edgenas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ela est\u00e1 grata por poder receber cuidados t\u00e3o excelentes perto de casa, sem ter de se deslocar a Boston ou Providence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Todas as pessoas que conheci em Southcoast levavam-me o tempo que eu quisesse\", disse ela. \"Havia tanta compaix\u00e3o. N\u00e3o conseguia acreditar no qu\u00e3o altru\u00edstas e bondosos eles eram, indo sempre acima e al\u00e9m.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoje, diz ela, est\u00e1 curada e a sua energia est\u00e1 restaurada. Est\u00e1 de novo ocupada a fazer croch\u00e9, a cozinhar e a cuidar de uma enorme horta que produz produtos para enlatar e congelar. E, claro, h\u00e1 a alegria de estar com o marido, os filhos e os netos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"N\u00e3o \u00e9 f\u00e1cil dizer \u00e0 fam\u00edlia que se tem cancro e que todas estas coisas v\u00e3o acontecer e que, durante algum tempo, n\u00e3o se pode fazer o que se fazia no passado. \"Mas agora sinto-me muito bem. Posso voltar \u00e0 minha vida\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
