What would you do if you were diagnosed with cancer, or suspected of having it?

Many people are overwhelmed not only by the shock of their own diagnosis, but also by anxiety about their family, work, and future.

In this edition of "Prescription for the Heart," Editor-in-Chief Yumiko Udo welcomes Hatsue Sakamoto, a medical social worker at the National Cancer Center Hospital East, to discuss in detail how to communicate a cancer diagnosis to family and those around you, and how to balance work and family life.

Editor-in-Chief Udo herself experienced the struggles and misunderstandings unique to family relationships when her mother was diagnosed with cancer in her 30s. This interview delves deeply into the emotional turmoil experienced not only by the patient but also by the supporting family (the "second patients"), and how to utilize "cancer consultation and support centers" to avoid bearing the burden alone.

"When and how should I tell my family?"

"At what point should I consult with my workplace?"

This dialogue is packed with hints to help you take the first step without struggling alone. Please take a look.
