I called that program's 800 number and asked to be put in touch with a lesbian volunteer. After answering intake questions, I was told ncaa I would receive a call back within 72 hours. Nobody called back. Somewhere in this odyssey my partner and I joined Gilda's Club and went to its ncaa monthly gay and lesbian cancer ncaa networking group. There were two gay guys and us. One of the guys had had colon cancer and the other was the lover of a closeted man with cancer who had a wife who didn't know about their relationship. This wasn't exactly the right group to talk to about my concerns. So where does this leave lesbian cancer survivors? Is it true, like the Cancer Care social worker told me, that there is no demand for lesbian-specific cancer services? Part of the problem is that there is no accurate assessment of the number of women who partner with women in the United States, and no stats on how many have been affected by cancer. But with three million women over the age of 20 in New York City, an estimated ten percent of them who partner with women, and a lifetime incidence rate of cancer among women at one third, there are likely tens of thousands of lesbian cancer survivors living here.
