With proper treatment and medical care, many people diagnosed with cancer of the breast tissue will survive their diagnosis and move on to thriving post-treatment. Because of societal marginalization, special consideration should be given to the survivorship needs of LGBTQ+ patients. The final conversation in our series will feature a conversation with a nurse scientist, a social worker, and the wife of a cancer survivor.
