安吉丽娜·朱莉·皮特:手术日记

The day of the results came. The PET/CT scan looked clear, and the tumor test was negative. I was full of happiness, although the radioactive tracer meant I couldn't hug my children. There was still a chance of early stage cancer, but that was minor compared with a full-blown tumor. To my relief, I still had the option of removing my ovaries and fallopian tubes and I chose to do it.

终于到了出结果的那天。PET/CT扫描清楚地显示没有肿瘤迹象，而肿瘤检测也呈阴性。尽管因为体内有放射性示踪剂，我还不能和孩子们拥抱，但我还是满心欢喜。虽然，早期癌症的风险仍在，但是相比较全面爆发的肿瘤，这已经不算什么了。庆幸地是，我还有机会可以选择进行卵巢和输卵管摘除术，于是我决定进行手术。

I did not do this solely because I carry the BRCA1 gene mutation, and I want other women to hear this. A positive BRCA test does not mean a leap to surgery. I have spoken to many doctors, surgeons and naturopaths. There are other options. Some women take birth control pills or rely on alternative medicines combined with frequent checks. There is more than one way to deal with any health issue. The most important thing is to learn about the options and choose what is right for you personally.

我想告诉其他女性的是，我做这个决定并不仅仅是因为携带了BRCA1突变基因。仅仅是BRCA基因检测呈阳性，并不意味着你需要立即接受手术。我曾咨询过许多大夫、外科医生，还有理疗专家，得知对此还有其他的治疗方式可供选择，比如口服避孕药或者代替药物，并结合定期检查进行治疗。面对健康问题，解决之道往往不止一种，而最重要的是了解这些解决方案，并从中选择最适合自己的一种。
