TEAM JPLS Leader: I am a husband, a father of two boys and an active triathlete competing mainly in long distance races. Fortunately, none of my immediate family members have been affected by cancer. I had thought cancer was irrelevant to my life until I got to know Japan for LIVESTRONG (JPLS). As a father supporting my family, I had vague anxiety to become sick, in particular to be diagnosed with cancer. It scared me. Now I know how to deal with it through JPLS. I am prepared to combat any threat against my health and life.

JPLS Kidney Cancer Leader: When I was 36 years old, cancer was discovered in my left kidney and as a result I had surgery removing that entire kidney… After surgery, I was given a yellow band from a close friend. Since that day, I’ve continued to wear that yellow band. Message “LIVESTRONG” engraved on the band has become an important word for me to live life fully every day. As a JPLS Kidney Cancer Leader, I’m honored to share my story to convey the “LIVESTRONG” yellow band to cancer patients, their families, and anyone else affected by cancer to increase quality of life for all.

I’m working at a hospital as a physical therapist and focusing on rehabilitation for cancer patients… Treatment for several types of cancer has been improved rapidly, resulting in longer overall survival periods for those patients. However, the support for cancer patients in their daily lives and regarding practical issues like work during and after cancer treatment are inadequate, especially in Japan. For example, the deterioration in physical fitness during and after cancer treatment is thought to negatively influence patients’ life and work, leading to the decrease in Quality of Life (QOL). Therefore, I think that rehabilitation has an important role in this context and that intervention for cancer patients to maintain their physical fitness during and after treatment through rehabilitation must be effective.

I first learned about LIVESTRONG at The 1st TeamOncology Leadership Academy. I am working at a hospital focused on cancer-related medication and palliative care as an oncology pharmacist.
