The Intersection Between a Cancer Diagnosis and Disability

Being diagnosed with cancer is a challenging experience on its own, but when coupled with a preexisting disability, it presents a unique set of obstacles and considerations. The intersection of these two health conditions can significantly impact treatment options, access to care, and overall quality of life. Susan Magasi, PhD, FACRM delves into the complexities individuals face when navigating cancer treatment while managing a preexisting disability, exploring both the practical challenges and the need for tailored support and resources. As an individual living with a neuromuscular disease, a full-time wheelchair user, Mindy Henderson, shares her knowledge and perspective of unique complications and factors to be considered before, during, and after treatment, when an individual with a primary disability receives a cancer diagnosis.
