So LGBTQ People Get Cancer Too?
On this week's show: Liz Margolies, psychotherapist and Founder of the National LGBT Cancer Network, who discusses the LGBT community's disproportionate cancer burden, inequities in cancer treatment, and her organization's advocacy efforts.
Today I talk to LGBT cancer advocate Liz Margolies. For over 30 years, Liz has worked as a psychotherapist with a specialty in cancer, trauma, and sexuality. She’s an OG LGBT rights activist, and when four of her lesbian friends died of ovarian cancer within months of each other, Liz launched the National LGBT Cancer Network. Because the LGBT community not only has a harder time getting treatment but sexual and gender minorities are also at a much higher risk of getting cancer than the general population. Liz explains why.
