ABOUT The CANCER GUIDANCE CENTER – KAPA3
Our goal at the Kapa3 is to assist every person in all aspects of their disease and to improve living conditions by providing any necessary assistance and service for both the patient and their families and caregivers.

“Illness is the dark side of life, the most unbearable citizenship. Each of us is born with a double citizenship: in the realm of the healthy and in that of the unhealthy.

Susan Sontag is one of the greatest American intellectuals of the 20th century. She herself knew this other place well, the hostile, difficult place, as she had passed through it twice before defeating it in 2004.
