Spouses and Loved Ones
Prostate cancer is a disease that truly affects the entire family. As prostate cancer hits at the intimate core of relationships, many couples find it helpful to reach out to other individuals who have been there. Us TOO, a non profit organization dedicated to prostate cancer education and awareness, has a wide array of links to resources for family members and companions, including everything from free audioconferences on intimacy & prostate cancer, to online support groups to buying awareness bracelets. See: Support for Companions and Families.
Children
Many parents are worried about how to discuss a cancer diagnosis with their children – toddlers or teenagers. See: Helping Children When a Family member Has Cancer.
