I recently returned from a retreat for men with cancer put on by Reel Recovery. It's a two day activity of fly fishing at top-flight facilities, relaxation, and camaraderie. Fly fishing skills or experience not required and they provide the gear if you don't have any. They also have a 1-1 ratio of fishing buddies to attendees (many of the buddies have also dealt with cancer themselves or with family members). There are sessions scheduled all around the US, UK, and Australia. I cannot recommend it enough for any men here or that you know who've joined the Big C Club. I put my name in to be a volunteer fishing buddy for other attendees. This has been going on for over a decade and ours was the first time that they had more than one MM patient (there were three of us) at an event. We had plenty of time on the water, good food, great roundtable discussions with a licensed counselor, and great scotch and bench fishing in the evenings. Here's the link.
