A "You can talk to me about anything!"

As cancer treatment advances, living with cancer, such as "receiving treatment while visiting the hospital instead of being hospitalized" or "continuing to work while receiving treatment," has become common. Furthermore, as cancer has become more commonly covered in the media, even people who are not cancer patients are increasingly hearing about it. At Kitano Hospital's Cancer Counseling and Support Center, nurses trained as cancer counselors, as well as specialized nurses and medical social workers, listen to, address, and support the concerns and worries of not only patients undergoing cancer treatment, but also their families and friends, and those with vague anxieties about cancer.
