Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe ʻike iā Nicole Gibbs, he ikaika ʻo ia e helu ʻia ma ka pā tennis. Mālama ka mea ʻālapa he 26 mau makahiki i ka single NCAA a me nā poʻo inoa o ka hui ma Stanford, a ua hōʻea ʻo ia i ke kolu o nā puni ma ka 2014 U.S. Open a me ka 2017 Australia Open.
He punahele ʻo ia no ka French Open e hiki mai ana, akā ua hoʻolaha ʻo Gibbs i kēia manawa e huki ʻo ia i waho o ka hoʻokūkū ma hope o kona aʻo ʻana he maʻi ʻaʻai salivary gland.
Ua lawe ka mea haʻuki i Twitter e kaʻana ua aʻo ʻo ia e pili ana i kāna kuhi ʻana mai kahi wā maʻamau me kāna kauka niho i ka mahina i hala. (E pili ana: Ua nānā ʻole nā kauka i kaʻu mau hōʻailona no ʻekolu mau makahiki ma mua o koʻu ʻike ʻia ʻana me ka Stage 4 Lymphoma)
"Ma kahi o hoʻokahi mahina i hala aku nei, ua hele au i ke kauka niho a ua makaʻala i ka ulu ʻana ma luna o ka hale o kuʻu waha," kākau ʻo ia. "Ua hoʻi mai ka biopsy maikaʻi no kahi maʻi ʻaʻai laha ʻole i kapa ʻia ʻo mucoepidermoid carcinoma (ka maʻi ʻaʻai salivary gland)."
ʻO ka maʻi ʻaʻai salivary gland i hana ʻia ma lalo o ka 1 pākēneka o nā diagnose maʻi ʻaʻai ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, e like me ka American Cancer Society. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ʻo ka mucoepidermoid carcinomas ke ʻano maʻamau o ka maʻi kanulau salivary a he haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa a hiki ke mālama ʻia - e like me ke ʻano o Gibbs. (E pili ana: 5 mau ala e hiki ai i kou mau niho ke hoʻopilikia i kou olakino)
"ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, he wānana maikaʻi loa kēia ʻano maʻi ʻaʻai a hilinaʻi hoʻi kaʻu mea lapaʻau ʻo ka lawa pono ʻana o ke kaha ʻana," i kākau ʻo Gibbs. "Ua ʻae ʻo ia iaʻu e pāʻani i kekahi mau hoʻokūkū keu i kēia mau pule i hala iho nei, a he mea hoʻohauʻoli maikaʻi kēia."
E mālama ʻia ana ka hōkū ʻālani ma ka lā Pōʻalima e wehe ʻia kāna tumero a manaʻo ʻia e ola hou ia. (Pili: ʻO kēia Ka Hoʻolālā Ola Ola Ola Ola ka mea hoʻonāukiuki wale nō āu e pono ai)
"Ua ʻōlelo ʻia iā mākou e manaʻo i kahi wā e ola ai he 4-6 wiki, akā e hana ana wau i nā mea āpau e ʻako i kēlā mea a hoʻi i ke olakino piha i ka wā e hiki ai," kākau ʻo ia. "Ke mahalo nui nei wau i ka pūnaewele olakino UCLA e mālama pono ana iaʻu, a no nā hoa aloha pōhaku a me nā ʻohana e kōkua mai iaʻu i kēlā me kēia kaʻina o ke ala."
ʻO ka mea nui loa, manaʻolana ʻo Gibbs e hoʻomanaʻo kāna moʻolelo i nā wahine ʻē aʻe e kau mau i ko lākou olakino ma mua a e lilo i poʻe kākoʻo ikaika i ko lākou pono ponoʻī. "Manaʻo wau he mea hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi ia no ka hoʻopiʻi pilikino ʻana," i haʻi ʻo ia I kēia lā. "Manaʻo wau e ʻike paha mākou inā aia kekahi mea i hewa a hewa paha."
Ke nānā nei i mua, ke hoʻomau nei ʻo Gibbs i kāna mau manaʻolana kiʻekiʻe a hoʻolālā e mākaukau no ka Wimbledon Qualifying Tournament i ka hopena o Iune: "E ʻike hou i ka ʻaha i ka manawa koke," kākau ʻo ia.
