The Blessing Cancer Center is pleased to announce the Man to Man support group uniquely designed for men with prostate cancer facilitated by Blessing Cancer Center and supported by the American Cancer Society is free of charge and is open to all men.
Man to Man offers education and support, not medical advice; has a policy of confidentiality so that members feel comfortable to talk openly and honestly; and promotes a non-judgmental attitude and objectivity towards its members and the choices they make about their care. Man to Man provides accurate, factual information to men and their partners about prostate cancer in a supportive environment following essential guidelines that assure program integrity and credibility. Man to Man is an ideal vehicle by which new relationships are formed between patients/survivors and care providers with a two-way exchange of information, trust, and respect.
