ʻO ke kumu hoʻohālikelike kino a me ka mea hoʻouluulu ʻo Ashley Luther, ka mea i ʻike nui ʻia ʻo Elly Mayday, i hala i ka makahiki 30 ma hope o ke kaua me ka maʻi ʻaʻai ovarian.
Ua hoʻolaha aku kona ʻohana i ka nūhou ma Instagram i kekahi mau lā i hala aku nei ma kahi kia kaumaha.
"He kaikamahine kuaʻāina ʻo Ashley i ka puʻuwai i makemake nui i ke ola i hōʻole ʻole ʻia," kākau lākou i loko o ka pou. "Ua moeʻuhane ʻo ia e hana i ka hopena i ke ola o nā kānaka. Ua hoʻokō ʻo ia i kēia ma o ka hana ʻana iā Elly Mayday i hiki ai iā ia ke launa pū me ʻoukou a pau. ʻO kāna kākoʻo mau a me ke aloha mai kāna poʻe hahai i paʻa i kahi kūlana kūikawā i loko o kona puʻuwai."
ʻOiai ua kaulana ʻo Luther ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻoikaika kino kino, ʻo kēlā kuleana ma ke ʻano he influencer ua hele i mua o ke kiʻi pilikino. Ua hāmama ʻo ia e pili ana i ka nānā ʻole ʻana o nā kauka i kāna mau hōʻailona no nā makahiki ma mua o ka hōʻoia ʻana iā ia me ka maʻi ʻaʻai, no laila ua hoʻomaka ikaika ʻo ia e ʻōlelo no ke olakino wahine Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua manaʻo ʻo ia inā hoʻolohe kekahi iā ia, ua loaʻa ʻo ia i kāna maʻi ʻaʻai ma mua.
Ua hoʻomaka ka huakaʻi a Luther i ka makahiki 2013 i kona hele ʻana i ke keʻena pilikia ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻeha nui ma kona kua lalo. Ua hoʻokuʻu nā kauka i kona ʻeha, e ʻōlelo ana he pono e lilo i ka kaumaha a e maikaʻi nā mea āpau, e like me Kanaka. (Ua ʻike ʻoe i nā kauka wahine ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o nā kāne kāne?)
"Ua haʻi mai ke kauka iaʻu e hana i kaʻu kumu," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia Kanaka ma 2015. "Ua hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia mākou i ka wā ʻōpio, he wahine. Ua hoʻomaka wau e ʻike ʻaʻohe mea e kōkua iaʻu ke ʻole wau e kōkua iaʻu iho."
ʻEkolu mau huakaʻi ER ma hope aku, ua haʻi ʻo Luther i ka mag ua ʻike ʻo ia ʻaʻole pono kekahi mea, no laila ua koi ʻo ia i kāna mau kauka e hana hou i nā hoʻokolohua. ʻEkolu mau makahiki ma hope o kāna huakaʻi mua i ka haukapila, ua hōʻike ʻia kahi CT scan ua loaʻa iā ia kahi cyst ovarian-a ma hope o kahi biopsy, ua ʻike kūleʻa ʻia ʻo ia me ke kanulau maʻi ʻōpala ʻekolu.
Ua hoʻomau ʻo Luther i ke ʻano hoʻohālikelike ʻoiai ʻo ia e hakakā ana me ka maʻi ʻaʻai ovarian a ua hōʻike ʻia nō hoʻi ma nā pā kaua ma hope o ka lilo ʻana o kona lauoho i ka chemotherapy a me nā hana ʻoki kino ʻana i haʻalele i kona kino me nā ʻili.
ʻOiai ma mua o kona hōʻoia ʻana, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Luther e hoʻokūkū i nā stereotypes. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona piʻo mua e komo i loko o ke aniani a hoʻokumu i kahi ʻoihana kūleʻa me ka ʻōlelo ʻia ʻaʻole ʻo ia he mea i ʻoi aku ma mua o ke ʻano pin-up no kona nui a me kona kiʻekiʻe. Ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i kēlā ʻike e paipai i nā wahine e ʻapo i ko lākou kino ʻoiai lākou a nānā ʻole i ka inaina.
Ua hana ʻo Lutera i mau ʻoki a me chemo. A no kekahi manawa, me he mea lā ua kala ʻia kona kanesa. Akā i ka 2017, ua hoʻi mai ia a ma hope o kekahi kaua lōʻihi lōʻihi paʻakikī, ua lawe ia i kona ola.
Minamina, ʻo ko Lutera ʻike ʻana ʻaʻole ia he hanana kū hoʻokahi. Aia nō, mau, nā stereotypes o nā kenekulia e pili ana i nā wahine "hysterical" a i ʻole "drama" ke pili i ka ʻeha - akā ʻo kekahi o kēlā mau manaʻo kuhihewa e paʻa mau nei i kēia lā, ʻoiai i nā haukapila a me nā keʻena lapaʻau.
Ka hihia: Ua hōʻike ʻia ka noiʻi e ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahine ma mua o nā kāne e haʻi ʻia i ko lākou ʻeha he psychosomatic, a i ʻole ka hopena e kekahi ʻano pilikia o ka naʻau. ʻAʻole wale ia, akā hāʻawi nā kauka a me nā kahu hānai i ka liʻiliʻi o ka lāʻau ʻeha i nā wahine ma mua o nā kāne ma hope o ke kaha ʻana, ʻoiai ua hōʻike pinepine nā wahine i nā pae ʻeha a koʻikoʻi.
I kēia mau lā wale nō, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Selma Blair, ka mea maʻi sclerosis (MS) he nui, ʻaʻole i lawe koʻikoʻi nā kauka i kāna mau hōʻailona no nā makahiki e alakaʻi ana i kāna kuhi. Ua uē ʻo ia i nā waimaka o ka hauʻoli i ka manawa a lākou i haʻi hope aku ai iā ia i ka mea i hewa iā ia.
ʻO ia ke kumu i koʻikoʻi ai ʻo Luther i ka paipai ʻana i nā wahine e lilo i poʻe kākoʻo no ko lākou olakino ponoʻī a kamaʻilio i ka wā e ʻike ai lākou i kekahi mea ʻaʻole kūpono i ko lākou kino.
I kāna kūlana hope loa ma mua o kona make ʻana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia "e ʻimi mau ana ʻo ia i kēlā manawa kūpono e kōkua ai i ka poʻe," a ua ʻike ʻia ʻo kāna manawa kūpono e hana ai pēlā e kaʻana like ana i kāna kaua maʻi ʻaʻai a me nā ʻike e pili ana iā ia.
"Koʻu koho ʻana e lilo i lehulehu a hoʻāʻo a kaʻana like i koʻu ikaika ua kokoke," kākau ʻo ia. "ʻO ke kōkua ke ʻano e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai i koʻu manawa ma aneʻi maikaʻi. Laki wau ua hiki iaʻu ke hoʻohui iā ia me ka leʻaleʻa ʻoihana hoʻohālikelike, no ka mea ʻo wau pū kekahi (hah no surprise). Mahalo wau i ka poʻe āpau e hōʻike iaʻu Ua hoʻololi, me kaʻu ʻōlelo aʻo, kaʻu kaʻana like, kaʻu mau kiʻi a me kaʻu ala maʻamau i kahi kūlana paʻakikī maoli. "
