Bladder Cancer Survivors

Bladder Cancer Survivors I was fortunate, my bladder cancer was diagnosed in the early stages. The only symptom I had was blood in my urine.

Bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the United States. Almost 60,000 cases are diagnosed each year, and more than 12,000 will die from the disease. Men, Caucasians and smokers have twice the risk of bladder cancer than the general population. When diagnosed and treated in a localized stage, bladder cancer is very treatable, with a five-year cancer-specific survival rate approaching 9

5%. Smoking is the greatest risk factor for bladder cancer. The incidence increases in people 50 years of age and older. Chronic bladder problems like infections and kidney stones may also be risk factors, although no direct link has been established. (MD Anderson Cancer Center, The University of Texas)

Symptoms
The most common symptoms of bladder cancer include urine tinged with blood, pain with urination, and having the urge to urinate even though no urine is produced and the bladder is empty. These can also be symptoms of an infection, so if you do have these, it is best to see a doctor for a clinical examination.
