ほっし校長 [Must-see for relatives of pediatric cancer patients] What I would like you to reconfirm before visiting the patient’s sympathy
caution! How to hold the feelings of those who watch over patients
Have you ever visited a hospital?
How do you feel about that?
Most of you would have come to visit us to convey your thoughts, “Let’s encourage you.”
It’s the same whether the person is an adult patient or a child patient.
However, there are some things that you should be especially careful about when you visit us.
It is [how to hold the heart for the patient].
【caution! How to hold the feelings of those who watch over patients]
When visiting a pediatric cancer patient, you must feel firm and emotional.

◼️ The reason is
Pediatric cancer patients have a very naive psychological state.
You can understand the feelings and feelings of those who visit you.
I developed childhood cancer when I was 10 years old. The type of cancer that developed was called osteosarcoma, which was the type of cancer that developed in the bone.
When I was notified of cancer by my doctor, I was shocked to see that my right leg was amputated and that it was a conditional operation to prolong my life.
Perhaps the mental burden was unimaginably harsh, and at the age of only ten he took it.
In such a mental state, I was able to feel the feelings of the adults around me very sensitively from facial expressions, voices, and conversations.
It must have been due to my mental state at that time.
In everyday life, you may be insensitive to the conversations and actions of those around you, and you may not notice the details.
However, after I develop cancer, everything around me begins to relate to me, which makes me very sensitive to actions and conversations.
◼️ Specific example
I will explain based on what I experienced when I developed childhood cancer and was hospitalized.

・ People who come to visit us will greet only their parents and go home without saying a word to the patient.

This is a so-called “sympathy for the relationship between adults”.
Patients, even children, quickly realize their purpose.
I feel very rude to the patient, and the patient can be sensitive to that.
[Tell your feelings]
That’s it.
There are various ways to do this.
It depends largely on the relationship with the patient.
By all means, please organize your feelings for the patient and visit us for your sympathy.
In that case,

Don’t forget.
