Daar was nie \u2019n dro\u00eb oog in die vertrek nie toe kankeroorlewendes en di\u00e9 wat met kanker saamleef of geliefdes aan die siekte afgestaan het Saterdagoggend hul lief en leed in deernis met mekaar gedeel het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die geleentheid, \u2019n keurige oggendtee met die tema \u201cGeloof, hoop en liefde\u201d is deur die nie-regeringsorganisasie Brackenfell Forum in die Rusoord-saal aangebied ter bewusmaking van borskanker, asook ander kankers by vroue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die forum is daarop toegespits om burgerlike kohesie in Brackenfell te bevorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alta van Zyl, voorsitter van die forum, het in haar toespraak ges\u00ea dat daar met die inisiatief \u2019n boodskap van hoop gebring word, dat kanker nie \u2019n doodsvonnis is nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die bekende plaaslike sangeres, Vilene Kannemeyer, het haar drie jaar lange stryd met kanker gedeel tydens haar optrede by die geleentheid. Die gevreesde siekte het haar lewe handomkeer verander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het op \u2019n dag net skielik begin siek voel. Met die staat se gesondheidsdepartement soos dit is, het dit my twee jaar geneem om \u2019n korrekte diagnose te kry en twee weke later moes ek \u2019n volle histerektomie ondergaan waarin my baarmoeder en eierstokke verwyder is,\u201d vertel sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 haar operasie het die kanker egter na haar blaas, pankreas, milt en limfkliere versprei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2019n Gedeelte van my blaas is weggesny en 16 limfkliere is verwyder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het 82 bestralingsbehandelings ondergaan, het al my hare verloor, maar hier staan ek nog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy hare het teruggegroei en tydens my behandelings het ek voortgegaan met musiekoptredes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het almal dinge waaraan ons vashou, en vir my was my musiek my medisyne. Ek het deur 11 maande se kankerbehandeling nie nodig gehad om een optrede te kanselleer nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met haar optredes in di\u00e9 tyd kon sy R239 000 bymekaar maak om hospitaalrekeninge te betaal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het baie kere opgestaan en gedink waar gaan die geld vandaan kom vir die volgende behandeling. Wat gaan ek doen? Maar nes jy dink jy kan nie meer nie \u2026 dan doen jy dit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pienk trooskombersies \u2013 pienk vir Borskankermaand in Oktober \u2013 is in gelukstrekkings weggegee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kombersies is deur Carol Barkhuizen gemaak met die materiaal wat in Oktober 2023 om bome vasgemaak was om bewusmaking vir kanker te kweek. Elke besoeker het ook \u2019n pienk rooskwarts-klippie ontvang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens navorsers by die Universiteit Stellenbosch kom borskanker al hoe meer in die land voor, wat dit een van die mees algemene kankers onder Suid-Afrikaanse vroue maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om hierdie groeiende probleem aan te pak, word Oktober landwyd as Borskankermaand aangewys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Navorsers s\u00ea vroe\u00eb opsporing deur gereelde selfondersoek van die borste, kliniese ondersoeke en mammogramme kan die oorlewingskoers beduidend verbeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel enigeen deur borskanker geraak kan word, kan sekere risikofaktore soos genetika, familiegeskiedenis en lewenstylkeuses die waarskynlikheid daarvan verhoog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar danksy die vooruitgang in mediese navorsing en behandelings- opsies geniet baie borskankerpasi\u00ebnte nou beter uitkomste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In haar afsluiting het Van Zyl verwys na dr. Martin van der Merwe wat in sy boek Goddelike openbarings deur drome en visioene<\/span>, die volgende oor die kleur pienk geskryf het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDis \u2019n herinnering dat Jesus jou eerste liefde is. As Hy jou eerste liefde bly, sal niks ooit \u2019n las vir jou wees nie. Dit wys dat jy groter fisiese of geestelike se\u00ebning ontvang; dit wys dat jy liefdevol is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVoorts dra die pienk rooskwarts ook volgens wetenskaplike navorsing die molekul\u00eare energie-vibrasiefrekwensie van 350hz. Wanneer jy aan hierdie frekwensie blootgestel word, kan jy die frekwensie van hartenergie verhoog en ko\u00f6rdineer. Die energievibrasie daarvan kan emosionele wonde genees en \u2019n stil ruimte skep vir innerlike vrede en selfherstel,\u201d s\u00ea Van Zyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStap vandag hier uit, met die Rots (Jesus) in die hand, tesame met die boodskap van liefde, fisiese en geestelike se\u00ebninge en weet jy is nooit alleen nie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Daar was nie
