Homophobia in Hospice and Long Term Cancer Care

By on Friday, June 27th, 2008

Is there a prevailing idea that cancer patients are mostly older folks?  Let me tell you there cancer -challenged gay and elderly find themselves isolated and alone or, if they are in an extended care facility, among people who share nothing of their culture, nothing of their past.   Out With Cancer launches a new effort to make hopsices and long term care facilities train their clinical and support staff in LGBT awareness and sensitivity.   Please write your stories about hospice and long term cancer care by clicking on our comment page.
