Koko, 37, was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer nine years ago at the age of 28. She immediately underwent surgery, but the cancer returned within four months. Her entire right breast was removed and her hair fell out due to anticancer drug treatments. For the first time, she became aware of the possibility of dying.
However, Koko wrote about her own experiences in her book, “To Those Who Have Been Diagnosed with Cancer”. This book holds the subtitle;

It is said that one in nine women will develop cancer. I interviewed Ms. Koko in advance of World Cancer Day (February 4th).
