Perhaps inspired by the activism of cancer               survivors, cancer husbands are setting a strong example for organizing               men’s groups to help other guys cope and to help the cause             of cancer research. Here are three such organizations:

Men Against Breast Cancer teaches men to be better               caregivers, empathetic listeners and all-around first-rate support               people. Grants from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention               and drug companies enable them to reach out to a broad audience               with their educational workshops.

Men               with feet is more like it. The Boston-based group seeks to raise “awareness,               funds and smiles” by motivating men to take part in walkathons.               With 125 members, Men with Heart field teams have raised $600,000             since 2002.

Comprised of breast cancer husbands, the Indiana-based               group holds monthly meetings and fishing tournaments.
