Out With Cancer
outwithcancer.com the worlds first, LGBT cancer social network website.
Patients and their care givers can post profiles, photo's, chat one on
one or run live online group chats....the sky is the limit for what we
can do here and the lives we can help. Malecare remains the only
national nonprofit to facilitate a network of gay men with prostate
cancer support groups, the first to develop a LGBT cancer project and
now is proud to have produced outwithcancer.com . It's free. And, it
took many, many pro bono hours of development. Now, the big effort is
to get the word out. Please announce this excellent resource in your
newsletters and please link your own websites to
