A personal story about being diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer in the US.
Queering Cancer (QC) uses the term sexual and gender diverse (SGD) to include all identities usually captured under various acronyms because language and understandings are always evolving. We use “trans” to include all whose gender identity is different from sex assigned at birth (including genderqueer, non-binary, agender and all non-cis identities).

For general cancer information the Canadian Cancer Society’s Cancer Information Service is a national, toll-free helpline available to everyone.
