“Fox16 News Anchor Donna Terrell’s daughter, Queah (pronounced: Quaya) was first diagnosed with colon cancer in her twenties. She had no known family history and was misdiagnosed twice before doctors discovered the late-stage tumor. After gaining awareness of her diagnosis she set out to educate others – especially young people about the warning signs. One of the hospitals where she received treatments offered free yoga classes to survivors which is how she was introduced to the practice and its benefits.
Oncologists say yoga is useful in helping to relieve stress and some of the symptoms of cancer and its associated treatments. They also say it can help alleviate symptoms from chronic diseases including arthritis, heart disease, lupus and diabetes. Continued yoga practice can lead to increased relaxation and physical fitness.
Donna Terrell’s Yoga Warriors Fighting Colon Cancer, was created in honor of Queah. It promotes the practice of yoga as a tool to help cancer survivors relieve stress and anxiety from the diagnosis and treatments. Yoga Warriors also works to bring awareness of early detection for colon and other cancers.”
