They not only reveal our values and beliefs, but they have a certain power to them … ranging from the power to inform and inspire, to the potential to misinform and cause harm. In this podcast you'll hear five powerful perspectives on concerns regarding how our cancer vernacular has the potential to harm people. Katherine O'Brien (9 years with metastatic breast cancer); Mandy Stahre (diagnosed with cancer at age 31); Ellen Miller-Sonet (former marketing executive for a renowned cancer center, now a cancer advocate); Vinay Prasad (oncologist and evidence-based medicine specialist); and Christine Norton (28 years with Stage I breast cancer and co-founder of the Minnesota Breast Cancer Coalition).
