Let's face it, in the US our society shuns its sick and culls its weakest through ever increasing fragmentation and isolation if there is not a solid support system for an individual facing a challenge like Cancer. 20 years ago I found out I had a kind of bone cancer in my leg, had the tumor removed, along with most of my left fibula. Thank goodness I had my surgery at Mass General Hospital, and my ortho oncologist is still in Boston, and there was no chemo, but 20 years of crutches, braces and pain 24/7 as a side effect of this technical procedure. As a 20 year, "out-of-the-woods" survivor, I find being a part of this project is a healthy way to obtain peer support. I do not feel like I need to make a case for this group being LGBT, its a 10% minority. Take that population, find the members who have gone through another minority experience, navigating the waters of Caner treatment and survival and there is room for meaningful discourse.
