Man Man to Man is the American Cancer Society prostate cancer education and support program that offers community based group education, discussion and support to men with prostate cancer. The original program was founded in Sarasota Florida by Jim Mullen. Volunteer coordinators invite speakers, publicize meeting schedules, and make local arrangements for monthly meetings.
Meetings are free.
Topics include information about prostate cancer, treatment, side effects of treatment, and coping with the disease and treatment. Some groups may invite wives and partners to attend meetings. In some locations wives and partners may meet separately in a group setting known as Side by Side. The Man to Man program was adopted by the American Cancer Society Florida Division in 1993 and approved as a national ACS program by the Board of Directors in November, 1993.
