Supporting and advocating for LGBTIQ+ people affected by cancer

Cancer can affect any of us, but until now the queer community has gone largely underrepresented within cancer care. Live Through This provides a safe space for anybody who identifies as part of the queer spectrum with an experience with any kind of cancer at any stage, as well as providing support for partners.

It is important that both patients and professionals are aware of how sexual orientation and gender identity can affect the cancer experience, so that everyone can access appropriate support. Live Through This works to provide training and education to improve awareness and inclusion within cancer care.

Loneliness is a key concern in those affected by the disease and this can be felt even harder when you’re queer. Live Through This brings people together to share experiences and support each other, with the belief that community is key and strengthened by mutual care.

This pin hopes to promote visibility in cancer care, start conversations, and display solidarity as an LGBT ally to others fighting the disease.
