Dealing with Cancer? Lesbian Cancer Initiative Can Help
Lesbians, bisexual women and transgender people dealing with cancer have a unique opportunity to connect with others in the same circumstance through the Center’s Lesbian Cancer Initiative. Fall Lesbian Cancer Initiative support groups still have openings for people with a cancer diagnosis and those caring for someone with a cancer diagnosis. Please share this with anyone you think may be interested and have them call us for an intake appointment.
