Moniqe Blench (15) van Brandvlei en \u2019n gr. 9-leerder aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Montana in Worcester staan gereed met haar skild en swaard om haar huidige kankerstryd n\u00e1 \u2019n jaar en \u2019n half lange remissie-tydperk w\u00e9\u00e9r aan te pak.<\/p>\n
Volgens Monique se ma, Thelma le Roux, het haar dogter vroe\u00ebr vanjaar lighoofdigheid ervaar en die sensasie dat \u201chaar bene onder haar [wil] ingee\u201d asook maagpyne \u2013 \u2019n simptoom wat ook gerapporteer is gedurende 2021 in haar eerste kankerstryd.<\/p>\n
Daarna het Monique dadelik vir \u2019n positron-emissietomografie (PET)-skandering gegaan, wat bevestig het dat haar seldsame lewerkanker (fibrolamell\u00eare hepatocellut\u00eare karsinoom) terug is en in \u2019n klier sy verskyning gemaak het.<\/p>\n
\u201cHulle [die dokters] het \u2019n klein kliertjie naby haar lewer ontdek wat moontlik kanker bevat, en die enigste oplossing was om die klier en van die omliggende kliere uit te haal, ingeval die kanker ook daarheen versprei het. Die operasie wat op 31 Mei gedoen is, het goed afgeloop,\u201d s\u00ea Thelma.<\/p>\n
\u201cVolgens die onkoloog is daar ongeveer twee plekke in die liggaam waarheen die kanker kan versprei voordat dit haar longe bereik. Om die kanker in sy spore te stop en seker te maak dat dit nie haar longe bereik nie, moet sy bestraling in haar buik kry,\u201d het Monique se ma verduidelik.<\/p>\n
Die bestralingsterapie sal Maandae tot Vrydae vir vyf weke duur. <\/p>\n
Die kinkel in die kabel is egter dat Monique haar vrugbaarheid kan verloor n\u00e1 die bestraling, en om di\u00e9 negatiewe uitwerking te behandel, moet van haar eierselle gevries word, wat \u2019n toekomstige swangerskap moontlik kan maak.<\/p>\n
\u201cOp 22 Junie het Monique Tygerberg-hospitaal se vrugbaarheidskliniek besoek, wat voorgestel het dat sy 15 eierselle vries,\u201d volgens Thelma. <\/p>\n
Die naald wat gebruik word om die eierselle te oes, kos R3 500, en die eerste buis om die eierselle te stoor kos R1 000 (wat tot drie eierselle kan stoor), en daarna kos dit R750 per buis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thelma het ook verduidelik dat haar dogter begin Julie met die hormoonbehandeling (R4 500) moet begin om genoeg eierselle te produseer teen middel Julie en so gou moontlik daarna haar bestraling te begin.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns [Monique en haar familie] soek dus ongeveer R11 500 tot R12 000 vir die behandeling by die vrugbaarheidskliniek.<\/p>\n
Tydens Monique se vorige kankerstryd is 75% van haar lewer verwyder en het sy ook sepsis opgedoen n\u00e1 haar derde chemobehandeling toe sy \u2019n negatiewe reaksie ervaar het.<\/p>\n
\u201cSommige dokters het [op Dinsdag 4 Januarie 2022] opgegee en ges\u00ea daar is geen manier dat Monique sou oorleef om die naweek te sien nie,\u201d volgens haar ma.<\/p>\n
Nietemin het di\u00e9 jong vegtertjie almal verkeerd bewys en bly leef. Sy is toe in Februarie huis toe gestuur, n\u00e1 \u2019n maand in die waakeenheid.<\/p>\n
Buiten Monique se huidige kankerstryd ervaar sy ook tandprobleme wat binnekort behandel moet word.<\/p>\n
Op 13-jarige ouderdom het sy die tandarts besoek wat verduidelik het dat sy te stadig groei vir haar ouderdom en te veel tande in haar mond het, wat toe beteken het dat haar groei vir agt maande gemonitor is met geen toename in lengte of gewig nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cN\u00e1 \u2019n paar jaar het Monique se ouers besluit om die tandarts weer te besoek, wat bevestig het dat daar \u2019n tand is wat in haar verhemelte sit en wil uitkom, en nog een reg bo haar boonste ry tande,\u201d volgens Thelma.<\/p>\n
Hoewel di\u00e9 probleem nie verwant is aan haar kanker nie, is dit ook \u2019n mediese toestand wat tot haar ongemak bydra. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns siekefonds dek nie die prosedure nie en ons moet R6 000 neersit voor die tandverwyderingsoperasie, en draadjies daarna.\u201d<\/p>\n
In \u2019n televisie-onderhoud met WoesTV moedig Monique ander aan om \u201cpositief te bly\u201d en \u201celke dag te leef asof dit hul laaste is\u201d.<\/p>\n
