Nagata recently published "It's Okay to Live Alone with Terminal Cancer" (Bunshun Shinsho). In 2021, Nagata's prostate cancer metastasized to his thoracic vertebrae and lungs, and he was diagnosed with "Stage 4" or "terminal cancer." This book, which covers everything from cancer detection to treatment and end-of-life planning, is a "cancer battle memoir" that leaves you feeling positive and free of any sense of despair.
