Get Prostate Cancer Support in Texas
A prostate cancer diagnosis can be some of the most devastating news you’ll ever receive. However, you should know that you’re not alone—around 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their lifetime. When you need the support and camaraderie of other prostate cancer patients and survivors, CanCare of Texas can help.
Facts on Prostate Cancer
According to the American Cancer Society, 1 in 3 people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetime. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among men, and the survival rate is dependent on the stage and cancer treatment.
Thanks to advancements in technology, we are much more knowledgeable about prostate cancer and can identify it in its early stages. As a result, there are less invasive treatment options for patients, and survival rates have increased.
Texas Prostate Cancer Support Groups Online
CanCare offers three support groups that are held online using the Zoom platform. People can join the cancer support group by using the zoom link to join by computer or tablet or they can join by phone using the dial in number for each group.

Texas Prostate Cancer Support Stories
At CanCare, we understand the power of sharing personal experiences in the journey of prostate cancer. We believe that testimonials and stories from individuals who have faced prostate cancer can provide hope, inspiration, and a sense of community to those currently going through similar challenges. Hearing about the triumphs, challenges, and lessons learned from survivors and their loved ones can help navigate the emotional and physical aspects of this disease.
These stories serve as a reminder that no one is alone in their fight against prostate cancer and that there is hope for a brighter future. We encourage you to explore the diverse collection of prostate cancer testimonials and stories, which highlight the resilience and strength of individuals who have conquered this disease.
Texas Prostate Cancer Caregiver Support
At CanCare, we understand and appreciate the crucial role that caregivers play in providing support to their loved ones facing prostate cancer. We recognize that caregiving can be a demanding experience, both emotionally and physically. That's why we are dedicated to offering caregiver support and guidance throughout this journey. Our compassionate caregiver support volunteers create a safe and empathetic environment where caregivers can connect with others who have similar experiences, fostering a sense of understanding and validation.
Through a range of resources, including educational materials, personalized support, and caregiver support groups, we aim to empower caregivers with the knowledge, skills, and emotional assistance necessary to provide exceptional care. We firmly believe that by addressing the needs of caregivers, we can enhance the overall well-being of both the patients and their support network. If you are a caregiver seeking guidance, connection, and a supportive community, we invite you to explore the caregiver support services available at CanCare.
Facing the Effects of Prostate Cancer
Trying to process the news and learn about your diagnosis simultaneously can be overwhelming. You should not navigate this experience alone, as terminologies like PSAS and androgens become a part of your new normal.
Cancer support communities like CanCare are an excellent resource for people facing prostate cancer who need an extra shoulder to lean on. With in-person prostate cancer support groups, online prostate cancer support groups, and survivorship programs and centers available, survivors and those going through prostate cancer have access to people who know what it is like to be in their shoes.
