许菱芝说,经历肛癌与造口手术,让她更珍惜与家人相处的时光,希望工作之余,帮助更多有需要的人。 (龙国雄摄) 患肛癌、做造口手术,尽管为生活带来不便,教师许菱芝勇敢面对挑战,学会与造口袋共存。10月5日是造口意识日,新加坡造口协会将在这天正式推出造口卡,让患者得到更好的社会支援,在外急须使用公厕或残疾厕所时,可随时向工作人员或公众出示造口卡。 2018年12月,小学教师许菱芝(现年42岁)初次被诊断患有肛癌;2019年1月,她接受手术并开始佩戴造口袋(stoma bag)。造口是指通过手术在皮肤做一个肠道开口,用于排空粪便。 她忆述患癌的经历,最初是脊柱连续不断的疼痛,2016至2017年病情逐渐加重。2017年下半年开始,她发现每月体重减少半公斤;2018年10月出现大量便血。她不得不请一整年无薪假,卸下工作后得以完全放松心情养病。当年12月又做一次内窥镜检查。期间,也依赖宗教信仰的精神力量,度过艰难时刻。 肛癌是一个打击,当外科医生告诉她必须做造口手术时,许菱芝心里感到恐慌。丈夫虽然感到悲观,但是他认为既然手术是挽救她性命的唯一办法,那么就必须学会佩戴造口袋生活。朋友和亲戚给予很大鼓励,给了她强大的精神和情感支持,勇敢地面对未来挑战。
