The survivors discussed their experiences at Medica, emphasizing the hospital’s amenities for easing the already stressful experience of cancer treatment.

The audience was taken through clinically oriented topics ranging from defining the symptoms of this cancer to the technicalities of managing it for well-being during the hour-long event and interactive session.

Don’t Go Red Go to a Doctor, is the theme for Bladder Cancer Awareness Month this year which focuses on overcoming embarrassment in our lives.

Bladder cancer is common cancer that requires long-term follow-up, which causes a lot of anxiety in the patient and their family, adding to the stress. As a result, the hospital has created this support group to help patients and caregivers understand the disease, treatments, and outcomes in honor of Bladder Cancer Awareness Month. This will aim to provide a forum for Bladder Cancer survivors to gather and share their experiences and concerns, allowing them to feel less alone.
