贾斯汀塞特特的生活自亨德森·路易斯安娜(Louisiana)的少年时代,路易斯安那州的一个小镇,位于Atchafalaya沼泽边缘的小镇,当地人们捕捞Sac-Au-Lait并开车到龙虾节的艺术桥。
一路上,塞尔特成为医生,结婚,成为父亲,冉马拉松,并在2017年初,他的初级保健医生诊断为36岁以低级卵泡淋巴瘤。不久之后,他来了MD安德森第二个活检显示他也具有三重衍射大B细胞淋巴瘤,一种特别侵略性的,通常是致命的形式非霍奇金淋巴瘤。虽然他收到标准化疗,他的癌症没有回应,他被安置在等候名单上汽车T细胞疗法临床试验。
“我的诊断基本上偷走了一年的一年,”Serrette说。“我进入第二个活检的那一天,我的生活在未来八个月内被暂停。我立即开始化疗,并在德克萨斯大学医学院的工作中停止工作,我是儿科医生。“
CAR-T试验
随着他经历了三轮治疗,Serrette和他的家人与他的婆婆一起搬进了他的岳母。起初,他的肿瘤缩小了。但随后在治疗后的第三周迅速增加。
“在几周之内被告知化疗不起作用,我最有可能有大约六个月的时间,我开始进入汽车-T临床试验的过程。”
Serrette于2017年8月开始始于汽车T细胞疗法,经历了一些严重的副作用,如发烧,恶心和低血压。他迅速康复,并进入了他今天留下的缓解。
与时间赛跑
虽然他的重量从140岁到118磅,但塞尔特决定经营一场马拉松,这是他追求十多年的激情。在2018年1月,他跑了,并在同一个月份完成了雪佛龙休斯顿马拉松队全职。
“奔跑本身很难。在失去25磅的大多数肌肉后,我很弱,“他说。“我一次跑了五分钟,在整个比赛中休息一分钟,并完成了4:50:58的时间。对我来说非常慢,但我很乐意通过它并完成它。“
医生,父亲和马拉松人没有停止那里。2018年12月,他在全国第四大檀香山担任马拉松比赛。2019年1月,他再次跑了雪佛龙休斯顿马拉松,比上年更快地完成了超过一个小时。
开放式经验
Serrette的疾病已经改变了他作为医生的观点,使他成为患者如何处理重大健康问题的新视角。
“我试图确保我的患者真正了解他们领先的是什么,因为它很容易妥善保健专业人员认为他们了解他们情况的复杂性,”他说。“即使作为医生,导航医疗系统的物流也会让我走开。我无法想象对没有医学背景的人有多难。B.ETWEEEN制定约会,在医疗中心寻找您的方式并处理保险,有很多机会迷茫和错过的事情。幸运的MD安德森让我们很容易。“
Serrette补充说,他作为癌症患者的经历睁开了他的眼睛,了解他是如何使用他的时间。
“我已经削减了一些关于我的家人花更多时间的活动,”他说。“患有癌症真的教你重要的东西。”
