Bladder cancer patient voice at BLADDR21 congress

WBCPC joined Global Congress on Bladder Cancer, bringing bladder cancer patient perspectives to the discussion.

“ Of course, you have to focus on the cancer and on saving a life but please also remember the life that you are saving. These are people who go home after, and it is important that they have a “life”.
