Prostate cancer education/ support groups are a great source of information. One can gain knowledge from presentations made by medical professionals or support from listening to a survivor’s own experience. Some meetings are designed for survivors only and others may include families and loved ones.
Support groups may be a Man to Man group, an UsTOO group, or independent.
Man to Man groups are associated with:
American Cancer Society:
UsTOO Groups are part of an international organization:
