Episode 231: Breast Health in the LGBTQ+ Community

Happy Pride Month, everyone! We know that early detection of breast cancer can save lives. Although screening mammography rates for lesbian and bisexual women are similar to rates for heterosexual women, some lesbian and bisexual women may still not get regular mammograms. This may be due to lack of health insurance, a perceived low risk of breast cancer, or concern due to past experiences of discrimination or insensitivity from doctors. These and other barriers make screening mammograms even more important. In today’s episode, Nancy, a Stage I triple negative breast cancer survivor and her wife, Viviana, talk about the importance of breast cancer screening, how it impacted Nancy’s breast cancer diagnosis and the role of family history in the future of their health.
