For Any Cancer Diagnosis
- Q.
I'm a patient navigator and have had a few requests from patients and their families for LGBT resources (groups and information mainly). Any recommendations?
- Q.
I work in a hospital and would like to better understand the challenges LGBTQ+ people face in medical settings. I'd like to educate the team I work with.
For Breast Cancer
- Q.
I am a lesbian and my family is not accepting of this. I recently have been diagnosed with breast cancer, and I'm really feeling the loss of having family for support. I'm not sure if it would make a difference to speak with them - should I tell my family about my diagnosis?
