幸存者说:胡安妮塔·莫里斯,卵巢癌幸存者
Juanita Morris在休斯顿和圣地亚哥之间分裂了她的时间。虽然她知道MD Anderson作为一个世界着名的医院,但她从未预料到患者。2017年2月23日,Juanita开始在右骨盆面积,常急排尿和腹胀中经历严重的疼痛。圣地亚哥的医生发现了一种垒球大小的肿瘤,推荐立即手术。她飞往休斯顿,预约查尔斯·莱莱,M.D.,教授,妇科肿瘤学和生殖医学。levenback诊断阶段III卵巢癌和预定的手术。一旦胡安塔从成功的手术中恢复过来,levenback将她放在化疗的过程中18周。一年后,Juanita再次感到像她的旧自我。在这里,她反映了通过治疗的力量。
在我坚定的信仰、家人和祈祷者的帮助下,我能够在癌症的整个过程中保持积极的态度。我对自己说——“不,卵巢癌不会在我的身体里。我不会有卵巢癌,'我决定在整个旅程中保持强势。
看到我的头发开始成团地脱落,真令人沮丧。在它变得一团糟之前,我对丈夫说,“布莱恩,是时候了。”我得把头发剃了,把剩下的头发都剃掉。“我去找和我一起去教堂的美发师,她问我,‘你确定吗?我说:“是的,我确定。”她把我转过身来,这样我就不用看着了。我觉得我快要崩溃了。这对我来说是最难的事情之一。我喜欢我的头发。当她开始为我剃头时,基督教音乐响起。那首不断重复的歌:“你是如此美丽。” You are so beautiful.’ I turned around in shock to look at Brian and felt this incredible peace. I knew I was going to be OK.
我从来没有后悔过。那一刻的平静让我意识到我的内在和外在都是美丽的。一个月后,我和女儿一起拍了一张照片,摄影师坚持要我也拍。拍这张照片时,我觉得自己美极了。这都是关于内心的力量,知道这就是我,代表了我所经历的一切。
