Afinal, ela tinha duas pequenas anomalias na mama esquerda e uma pequena \u00e1rea na mama direita que necessitavam de bi\u00f3psias. Dra. Maureen Chung<\/a>, Diretor M\u00e9dico de Southcoast Health Breast Care (Cuidados com a mama)<\/a>, explicou que suspeitava cancro da mama<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dois dias depois da biopsia, Deana Wilson, uma enfermeira navegadora, telefonou para lhe dar a not\u00edcia. A mama esquerda de Meaghan tinha um carcinoma ductal invasivo e um carcinoma ductal in situ, formas de cancro localizadas num ducto de leite da mama. \u00c9 importante referir que os tumores foram detectados precocemente porque Meaghan nunca faltou ao seu rastreio anual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaghan estava preocupada, mas confort\u00e1vel com a informa\u00e7\u00e3o que estava a receber e com os profissionais de sa\u00fade que a forneciam. Sentia-se tranquila por estar a ser tratada em Fall River, onde viveu toda a sua vida. Al\u00e9m disso, a sua m\u00e3e tinha trabalhado anteriormente com Deana no Charlton Memorial Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Deram-me informa\u00e7\u00e3o suficiente para saber o que se estava a passar\", disse. \"N\u00e3o me disseram muito nem pouco, e as consultas foram r\u00e1pidas, pelo que n\u00e3o tive tempo para pensar demasiado.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Na altura em que Meaghan se encontrou com o Dr. Chung para discutir os resultados da bi\u00f3psia, j\u00e1 sabia que queria uma bi\u00f3psia dupla mastectomia<\/a>A cirurgia de remo\u00e7\u00e3o de ambos os seios, em vez de uma lumpectomia, que apenas extirparia o tecido canceroso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"N\u00e3o queria correr riscos\", disse ela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Dr. Chung concordou prontamente e come\u00e7ou a marcar o procedimento e a estabelecer um plano de cuidados. Meaghan encontrou-se com Dra. Susan Kim<\/a>, um oncologista m\u00e9dico de Southcoast, e Dr. Tushar Kumar<\/a>para discutir o tratamento p\u00f3s-cir\u00fargico. Ela precisaria de 12 sess\u00f5es de quimioterapia, mas a mastectomia tornou a radia\u00e7\u00e3o desnecess\u00e1ria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaghan \u00e9 uma analista comercial s\u00e9nior da equipa Epic na Southcoast Health e, por coincid\u00eancia, estava a aconselhar colegas nas fases iniciais de um programa que permitia aos pacientes marcar mamografias online atrav\u00e9s do O meu gr\u00e1fico<\/a> portal do paciente. Tamb\u00e9m esteve envolvida na marca\u00e7\u00e3o de consultas e encaminhamentos para um arrefecimento do couro cabeludo<\/a> limite m\u00e1ximo para proteger as pessoas que recebem quimioterapia<\/a> da queda de cabelo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ela viu agora em primeira m\u00e3o como o MyChart tornou os seus cuidados mais f\u00e1ceis e eficientes. Os resultados dos seus exames estavam dispon\u00edveis ao mesmo tempo para todos os seus prestadores, incluindo os m\u00e9dicos do Instituto do Cancro Dana Farber<\/a> em Boston, onde procurou uma segunda opini\u00e3o que confirmou o seu plano de tratamento. Meaghan tamb\u00e9m ficou impressionada com a facilidade com que a marca\u00e7\u00e3o de consultas decorreu, permitindo-lhe consultar dois m\u00e9dicos diferentes em Fall River durante uma \u00fanica visita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Perguntei-me porque \u00e9 que estava a receber tratamento VIP\", disse ela. \"Quase me senti culpada, mas n\u00e3o \u00e9 um tratamento VIP. \u00c9 apenas o padr\u00e3o de cuidados com a mama na Southcoast Health.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Em 25 de junho, Meaghan foi submetida a uma interven\u00e7\u00e3o de sete horas no Charlton Memorial Hospital. O Dr. Chung retirou-lhe os seios e depois Dra. Caroline Plamondon<\/a>O Dr. Giuseppe, cirurgi\u00e3o pl\u00e1stico, reconstruiu-os, implantando expansores que podiam ser preenchidos na altura certa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ela est\u00e1 grata pela compet\u00eancia e compaix\u00e3o dos m\u00e9dicos, enfermeiros e t\u00e9cnicos da Southcoast Health que a est\u00e3o a acompanhar nos seus cuidados cont\u00ednuos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mas ela sabe que, com o apoio do namorado, Jared, e das irm\u00e3s, sobrinho, sobrinhas e amigos, \"daqui a um ano, isto vai ser apenas um pequeno pormenor na minha vida\", disse. Antes da cirurgia, os amigos de Meaghan pintaram-lhe a cozinha e, quando regressou a casa depois do hospital, descobriu que a fam\u00edlia tinha remodelado o terra\u00e7o para que pudesse sentar-se ao ar livre com privacidade e conforto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Est\u00e1 ansiosa por dar longos passeios com o seu c\u00e3o, Bastian, retomar as aulas de cer\u00e2mica e voltar ao trabalho que adora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tenho f\u00e9 na equipa de m\u00e9dicos que est\u00e1 a cuidar de mim e isso tira-me um grande peso dos ombros\", disse. \"Posso concentrar-me na cura, tomando os meus medicamentos a horas, bebendo \u00e1gua e comendo prote\u00ednas. Estou ansiosa por voltar a ter a minha vida normal, como era no dia anterior \u00e0 mamografia.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
