Cancer in Two Voices

Summary: A gay male friend of a deceased lesbian cancer survivor...
Review: I read this book for the first time shortly after my friend Dolores had died from breast cancer, and I was deeply moved by Barbara's perserverance and courage, and Sandra's love for her. I don't think this is the first time that gay men have read books on lesbian experiences of their epidemic- a number of gay male PLWAs have apparently read Audre Lorde's The Cancer Journals for that purpose. Barbara's life was rich and varied, and her loss is a searing one. I hope that anyone who reads it is motivated to fight for a world where neither HIV/AIDS or breast cancer cost us the lives of those we love.
