The author held dialogues with a 48-year-old female who complained of many unexplained discomforts after surgery for breast cancer and who could not be discharged from the hospital. Based on the dialogues with this female, the author considered features of communication between a cancer patient and family members in family with previous experiences with cancer. Both this patient and her family members were quite pessimistic about the prognosis of cancer, on the grounds that they had previously experienced death of a family member due to cancer. Difficulties in talking frankly with the patient concerning the real condition and prognosis tended to lead to misunderstanding of the condition by the patient and an erroneous feeling by the patient that she was not being understood by her family members. When dealing with cancer patients whose family members had cancer, it is recommended that the nurse provide a comfortable atmosphere for talking with the patient and her family members concerning the nurses'own experiences of caring for cancer patients and concerning the experiences with the suffering of the patient's family members.
