Is it? I'm pretty sure oncologists will say "you have stage 2 breast cancer," but I wasn't in the room at the time.

Oncologists are actually way more specific than even that. Because there are many forms of breast cancer and different treatments depending on the type.

But yeah, oncologists aren’t telling people “you have cancer” the way they might say “you have MRSA”.
