trans-friendly cancer centers and hospitals?
Hi there,
I am the full time caregiver for my partner who is a trans woman with stage 4 colorectal cancer. We live in MI and have been through 4 different treatment centers, where we have dealt with discrimination, malpractice, and transphobia.
The treatment centers we have been to were the top recommended ones in the state for our situation, and 3 of them were NCI designated centers. My partner was diagnosed a year and a half ago and was given an estimate of 2 years to live.
I am extremely overwhelmed trying to find somewhere that will treat us with respect, compassion, listen to our concerns, and won’t be transphobic. I apologize if this isn’t worded the best or if I’m leaving out important context but I am just very exhausted and overwhelmed. I am happy to answer any questions or provide more information.
Does anyone have any suggestions for where to go that I could trust won’t be transphobic, even if you suggest we leave the country? I’m willing to try anything at this point, but I just don’t want to put her through more trauma and to have to keep looking for new places.
Thank you.
