Learning about bladder cancer
For many, it is quite normal to know very little about bladder cancer until it comes into your life. We understand that it can be quite overwhelming to receive stacks of information at once upon receiving a diagnosis, or to perform a google search trying to find the information that you need. We’ve kept this in mind and have designed the information on this page to give you a brief overview of the relevant information that we believe everyone should know about the disease.
Whether it is for yourself, a family member or a friend, we hope that this information provides you with a better understanding of bladder cancer and gives you the confidence to navigate the disease. On this page you will find all the basics you need to know about bladder cancer, and guidance on where to find more information.
