Support groups for friends of lesbians?

Question from SF Carl: Are there support groups for friends of lesbians with cancer?

Answer —Cheryl Pearson-Fields, M.P.H.: I have not seen any for friends of lesbians, although the Mautner Project offers support groups for partners and caregivers. So, if you are the friend of a lesbian and are asking as her caregiver, you can access that support group.

On Wednesday, November 21, 2001, our Ask-the-Expert Online Conference was called Lesbians and Breast Cancer. Lisa Weissmann, M.D., Cheryl Pearson-Fields, M.P.H., and Marisa Weiss, M.D. answered your questions about being gay and having breast cancer.
