Miranda - intersectional experiences of breast cancer

Miranda was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer five years after being treated for primary. She tells us how cancer experiences may be different for people in black and/or LGBTQ+ communities.

"The louder the voices, the more we'll get heard and the more we'll get done"

2 of Miranda's aunts had breast cancer so, when she went to the GP after finding a lump, she was referred to the breast clinic immediately. After being diagnosed and treated for primary breast cancer, she later developed secondaries, and experienced a number of complications.

Since then, she's been grateful for the support she's received from the cancer community, her friends and her family - especially as she's heard of other people being abandoned by loved ones after getting a cancer diagnosis.
