Are you a member of the LGBTQ+ community and living with cancer?
We invite you to join us to explore your story.
LGBTQ+ individuals living with cancer navigate both hard-fought victories and stories of pain and loss. Learning how to be a careful observer of both beauty and sorrow in literature and art and then writing about the experience can help individuals reflect on the stories that shape their own journey.
Join a Narrative Medicine workshop with the Cancer Support Community Los Angeles (CSCLS) and students from USC’s Master of Science in Narrative Medicine Program, to connect more deeply with your own story and the stories of others on a similar path.
