When someone receives a cancer diagnosis, how do they process the news and move towards treatment?

In this edition of "Prescription for the Heart," editor-in-chief Yumiko Udo and medical social worker Hatsue Sakamoto welcome Ayako Murakami (owner of the cookie shop "YOTSUHA"), who has actually experienced ovarian cancer, as a guest to hear her real-life story of battling cancer.

Ovarian cancer was discovered during a health checkup just before she was assigned to work overseas.

From her initial reaction of "Seriously?!" to how she told her family, the difficult side effects of chemotherapy, and her decision to undergo a preventative mastectomy after genetic testing, Murakami shares her uniquely positive and resolute approach to accepting the diagnosis.

This article is full of encouraging hints for those currently facing illness or health problems, such as "the importance of not bearing the burden alone and communicating with medical professionals" and "the appreciation for life that can only be realized after experiencing illness."
