LONDON (The Thursday Times) — Riyazi daan aur broadcaster Hannah Fry ne kaha hai ke chhe saal pehle cervical cancer (bachha-daani ke munh ka cancer) ke ilaj ke baad woh khud ko ‘‘na-qabil-e-yaqeen had tak khush qismat’’ mehsoos karti hain, aur haal hi mein unhein paanch saal ka all-clear mil gaya hai.
Cambridge University ki professor 42 saala Fry, jo haal hi mein ‘‘Celebrity Traitors’’ ke doosre season mein shareek hui hain, ne radio programme ‘‘Desert Island Discs’’ mein Lauren Laverne se apne ilaj par baat ki. Unhon ne bataya ke 2020 mein cervical screening ke baad cancer zada khaliyat ka pata chala, halanke woh kai maah is appointment ko taalti rahi thin. Nataij aane mein chand hafte lage, phir unke GP ne dobara test aur biopsy ke liye bulaya. Is ke baad unhon ne bachha-daani nikalwane ka operation (hysterectomy) karaya, jise unhon ne ‘‘haulnak’’ qaraar diya.
Lymph nodes ka intezar
Fry ne bataya ke unke bachne ke imkanat is par munhasir the ke cancer lymph nodes tak pahuncha hai ya nahi. Agar nahi pahuncha to imkanat unke haq mein the. Ek node mein hota to bachne ka imkan ghat kar 60 feesad reh jata aur do mein hota to 40 feesad. Operation ke baad hospital mein tanhai ke dauran ek surgeon ne unhein bataya ke unke chaar lymph nodes barhe hue dikhai diye the.
Unhon ne kaha ke woh hospital ke bistar par akeli thin aur ek hafte se zyada koi milne nahi aa saka. Unhon ne apne us waqt ke shauhar se kaha ke kamre ke ek kone mein FaceTime laga dein taake woh apni do chhoti betiyon ko khelta dekh sakein. ‘‘Main nahi chahti thi ke woh mujhe dekhein, yeh bahut zyada tha,’’ unhon ne kaha.
Fry ne kaha ke ilaj kitna hi takleef deh tha, us ka ek ikhtitam tha, aur paanch saal ke check-up ke baad woh bahut khush qismat mehsoos karti hain. Unhon ne yeh bhi kaha ke is sab ke bawajood woh is tajurbe ko badalna nahi chahengi.
Fry ek mehnat kash gharane mein pali barhin, University College London mein riyazi parhi, seyal harkiyat mein PhD ki aur guzishta saal Cambridge ki riyazi ki awami tafheem ki pehli professor baniin. Woh ‘‘The Secret Genius of Modern Life’’ jaise science programmon ki mezban rahi hain.
