LGBTQ+ people and cancer easy read

Sexual orientation and gender identity should not affect your access to the right healthcare. But we know that sometimes LGBTQ+ people may face extra challenges in getting the right help. This booklet has information about navigating healthcare, cancer and treatment.

You can read our online information about LGBTQ+ people and cancer treatment and transgender and non-binary people and cancer.

Visit our Support for LGBTQ+ people affected by cancer page to read stories from LGBTQ+ people affected by cancer, and find links to the LGBTQ+ forum on Macmillan’s Online Community.

We want everyone affected by cancer to feel our information is written for them. To do this we use plain English and we try to make it accessible and relevant to the widest range of people. Read more about how we produce our information.
