Men against breast cancer - founded in 1999, is the first national non-profit to provide national support services to educate and empower men to be effective care givers and helping men cope with the impact of a loved one's breast cancer diagnosis and treatment; as well as, target and mobilize men to be active participants in the fight to eradicate breast cancer as a life threatening disease. Additionally, MABC offers various services such as the workshop "Partners in Survival" and the "For The Women We Love, A Breast Cancer Action Plan and Caregiver's Guide For Men." Also, learn about MABC's Annual Caregiver's Conference For Men.
When your life is touched by breast cancer, you need support so you reach out to Breast Cancer Network of Strength. We're here for those who have a question about breast health, and for loved ones who aren't quite sure what to say to the patient. We're here for the patient who simply wants to speak with someone who has walked in her shoes.
There's something so comforting about talking to someone who's been there. While family and friends can be a wonderful support, speaking with other breast cancer survivors helps patients come to terms with their diagnosis and cope with the emotional concerns that may arise.
We hope you'll take advantage of the YourShoes 24/7 Breast Cancer Support Center, with interpreters in more than 150 languages on the hotline. When you dial —even in the middle of the night—your call is answered by a trained peer counselor who is a breast cancer survivor. Online support is provided and peer counselors respond to questions and concerns promptly.
