The Prostate Cancer Foundation
partners with My Bridge 4 Life to create a community of support for patients and caregivers, including blogs to share stories, a log of medical information (kept private), and tips for how to cope during treatment. The Foundation also offers financial and tactical resources for finding a doctor or treatment center as well as face-to-face support groups for patients and families.
