How CANVES became Spain’s first bladder cancer support group

Discover how CANVES, Spain’s first bladder cancer support group, turned their vision into reality with the guidance of the World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition’s Start-Up Guide.

When I was first diagnosed with bladder cancer, I felt isolated and overwhelmed.
