Support Groups
In Texas
This page lists prostate cancer support groups within the State of Texas. Support groups in some areas come and go; therefore the list may not be complete. Particularly, the American Cancer Society dropped its support for Man to Man groups in 2013. It is unclear whether or not all of the groups listed as Man to Man are still active.
Underlined Chapters are members of the
North Texas Prostate Cancer Coalition (NTxPCC)
