The NHS failed to provide timely and appropriate medical treatment to Joelle, a trans woman with an aggressive but treatable cancer, due to her trans status.

Joelle, a trans woman needed urgent chemotherapy for an aggressive but highly treatable cancer. Initially placed in the women's ward, the NHS moved her out of the ward when her trans status became clear. She was returned to ER for 16 days while waiting for a single bed cancer ward to become available. Joelle was in intense agony with incorrect pain management and obviously no chemotherapy. Her desperate requests to be treated in any ward - male, female, it didn't matter - were denied. Ultimately the tumor was 98 cm by the time she got treatment. She died in agony, utterly betrayed by the NHS and the British government. Please donate to the campaign seeking justice for Joelle.
