Mas Antoinette, 61 anos, de Fairhaven, n\u00e3o \u00e9 pessoa que desista perante os problemas. Sempre otimista, diz que decidiu que o cancro n\u00e3o seria o seu fim. E seis anos mais tarde, est\u00e1 livre do cancro e espera poder passar mais tempo com o marido, os tr\u00eas filhos e os tr\u00eas netos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ela atribui o m\u00e9rito \u00e0s \"pessoas fant\u00e1sticas e maravilhosas\" do Southcoast Health Cancer Care Center em Fairhaven<\/a> - com a sua pr\u00f3pria determina\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"N\u00e3o ia deixar que o cancro consumisse toda a minha vida. Eu queria viver\", disse ela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antoinette fumou durante quase 40 anos e come\u00e7ou a tossir de forma persistente. O seu filho Steven instou-a a fazer um exame e o seu m\u00e9dico de fam\u00edlia, um m\u00e9dico j\u00e1 reformado de Southcoast, mandou-a fazer uma radiografia ao t\u00f3rax que revelou les\u00f5es nos pulm\u00f5es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Michael Barretti,<\/a> Medical Diretor of Pulmonary & Critical Care, analisou o seu caso e diagnosticou-lhe cancro do pulm\u00e3o de c\u00e9lulas n\u00e3o pequenas n\u00e3o escamoso de fase 4. Encaminhou-a para o Southcoast Cancer Care Center em Fairhaven. Decidiu obter uma segunda opini\u00e3o e encontrou-se com m\u00e9dicos do Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center em Foxborough, que lhe disseram que o plano de tratamento que o Southcoast Health tinha delineado era o mesmo que eles recomendariam. Decidiu fazer o tratamento no Cancer Care Center, convenientemente localizado na sua cidade natal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Teria de passar meses a viajar de um lado para o outro at\u00e9 Boston para receber tratamento. Decidi ficar em Southcoast, em Fairhaven. Era uma op\u00e7\u00e3o muito melhor para mim e para a minha fam\u00edlia\", disse ela. \"Eles me atenderam imediatamente.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encontrou-se com Dr. Edress Othman<\/a>Chefe de Oncologia M\u00e9dica, que seria respons\u00e1vel pelos seus cuidados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adorei o facto de ele ter sido muito honesto\", disse ela. \"N\u00e3o \u00e9 bom\", disse-me ele. Deu-me nove meses. Eu disse que ia provar que ele estava errado\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Dr. Othman iniciou imediatamente a quimioterapia de Antoinette e, durante mais de quatro anos, ela ia de tr\u00eas em tr\u00eas semanas ao centro oncol\u00f3gico para receber uma inje\u00e7\u00e3o de v\u00e1rios medicamentos de quimioterapia, incluindo pemetrexedo e a imunoterapia pembrolizumab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Com o tempo, os exames de rotina mostraram que as les\u00f5es estavam a diminuir e o Dr. Othman reduziu os tratamentos de quimioterapia para uma vez por m\u00eas. Mais de um ano depois, ela est\u00e1 livre do cancro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A doen\u00e7a fez-me muito bem. N\u00e3o estava doente, n\u00e3o tinha tonturas e tinha apetite\", disse ela, e p\u00f4de continuar a trabalhar no seu emprego de empregada dom\u00e9stica em South Dartmouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoje, quando se encontra com o Dr. Othman, as suas enfermeiras e os outros profissionais de Southcoast que cuidam dela, sente que est\u00e1 a visitar amigos. Sabe todos os seus nomes e pormenores sobre as suas vidas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No in\u00edcio, (o Dr. Othman) parecia muito reservado. Agora esse homem abra\u00e7a-me, ri-se e sorri\", disse ela. \"Eles fazem-nos sentir como se fossemos da fam\u00edlia.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atualmente, Antoinette est\u00e1 ocupada a viver a sua vida e a desfrutar do tempo com o seu marido Steven e com a sua fam\u00edlia e amigos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Disse \u00e0 minha fam\u00edlia que se deix\u00e1ssemos que isto nos consumisse, ele ia ganhar\", disse ela. \"A fam\u00edlia apoiou-me, os amigos apoiaram-me, recebi cart\u00f5es pelo correio todos os dias e tive uma boa atitude. Eu disse: 'N\u00e3o estou a morrer. N\u00e3o est\u00e1 a acontecer.'\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ela e o marido est\u00e3o a planear uma viagem ao Colorado para visitar a filha, algo que n\u00e3o teria feito antes do diagn\u00f3stico porque tinha medo de andar de avi\u00e3o. Agora, diz ela, como resultado do que passou, \"n\u00e3o tenho medo de entrar num avi\u00e3o\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O seu conselho?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"N\u00e3o tomes nada como garantido\", disse ela. \"Se queres fazer alguma coisa, faz. N\u00e3o fiques \u00e0 espera.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 E n\u00e3o tem palavras para descrever os cuidados que recebeu no Southcoast Health Cancer Center em Fairhaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Aquele s\u00edtio \u00e9 fant\u00e1stico. Digo a toda a gente como s\u00e3o fant\u00e1sticos\", disse ela. \"De cima a baixo, \u00e9 o melhor s\u00edtio onde se pode ir. Estes m\u00e9dicos s\u00e3o fant\u00e1sticos. Sentimos que eles est\u00e3o realmente l\u00e1 para n\u00f3s.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
