Print Issue: QUEER IN CANCERLAND
QUEER IN CANCERLAND, Feb / Mar 2024, Vol 9, No 1, 100+ pages
Our first-ever "Queer in Cancerland" issue shines a spotlight on queer memoirs to provide a space within the breast cancer community that validates a part of your identity you might not always feel is acknowledged. Our hope with this issue is that telling and reading these stories will make you feel more whole & will make cancerland safer for others. Don’t identify as LGBTQIA2S+ yourself? Not to worry - the stories within this issue are important and transformative - whether you call yourself queer or not. We all have lessons to learn from each other about living, not just surviving, after diagnosis.
