Why the Cancer Terms “Newly Diagnosed” and “Survivor” Miss the Point in Oncology Yoga
In the world of cancer care, labels are everywhere. “Newly diagnosed.” “In treatment.” “Survivor.” These categories are often used to define where someone is on their cancer journey. But when it comes to Oncology Yoga, these distinctions can do more harm than good.
At yoga4cancer, we work with people, not diagnoses. Our mission is to make safe, evidence-informed Oncology Yoga accessible to anyone touched by cancer—wherever they are in their experience.
