Stay Visible with Stephanie Millett

The Burn

Stephanie Millett returns to The Burn for a second visit. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at 25. Stephanie is now 35 and living with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer. Stephanie reads her essay “Stay Visible” from the 2024 “Queer in Cancerland” issue of Wildfire Magazine. Stephanie’s piece is about her experiences of breast cancer as a queer person. April and Stephanie talk about queer role models in breast cancer, visibility fatigue, and the various segments of allyship in Cancerland. They will also discuss the challenges of survivorship.
