Trisha Goddard on Why We Should Stop Using the Word 'Terminal' for Cancer
0"The term 'terminal' is no longer used, we use life-limiting."
Trisha Goddard opens up about living with stage four breast cancer. From hosting her show while undergoing weekly chemotherapy to the emotional toll of revisiting cancer in her family, Trisha shares the raw truth behind the scenes, the pain, the laughter, and the moments of complete vulnerability.
She also challenges the outdated language used to describe cancer, urging fellow journalists and the public to adopt more accurate and compassionate terms like "life-limiting" instead of "terminal." With medical advances allowing many to live longer with stage four diagnoses, Trisha emphasizes the need for better understanding, access to care, and a more nuanced conversation around cancer.
