November – Transgender Awareness Week
13th – 19th November is Transgender Awareness Week.
If you are transgender, non binary or both, you may have questions about your risk of cancer or the screening or treatment you may need.
Your gender identity should not affect your access to the right healthcare. Your healthcare team should offer you care, support and information that meets your needs. But we know that sometimes trans and non-binary people may face extra challenges in getting the right help.
Trans and non-binary people may also find our page about support for LGBTQ+ people with cancer treatment helpful. It includes information about:
- talking to your healthcare team
- coping with negative healthcare experiences
- cancer, sex and fertility
- finding support.
