Man to Man
"Man to Man brings hope to people who aren't really sure where to turn, and that has made it an unexpectedly rewarding journey for us." Dennis and Jackie O'Hara, Man to Man/Side by Side Facilitators The Man to Man program helps men cope with prostate cancer by providing community-based education and support to patients and their family members. In addition, Man to Man plays an important role in community education about prostate cancer; it encourages men and health care professionals to actively consider screening for prostate cancer appropriate to each man's age and risk for the disease. A major part of the program is the self-help and/or support group. Volunteers organize free monthly meetings where speakers and participants learn about and discuss information about prostate cancer, treatment, side effects, and how to cope with the disease and its treatment. Your local program may also include other services and activities such as:
Some Man to Man groups may invite wives and partners to attend meetings. In other locations, wives and partners may meet separately in a group setting called Side by Side. Program services and activities vary depending on the location.
