Our Impact

overview

Despite being the 5th most common cancer in Canada, few people are aware of the disease. Patients and general practitioners often do not recognize the symptoms of bladder cancer, leading to delayed diagnosis, expensive and invasive treatment and poor treatment outcomes. Very little has changed in the diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer for decades, because research funding into the disease seriously lags behind the majority of other serious cancers.

Testimonial

"When I was diagnosed with bladder cancer, my family and friends were very supportive, and that's important. But, nothing compares with support from someone who has gone through the same things as you have. That's what BCC gave me!"Stephen Wilson

"I support Bladder Cancer because they support patients. Patient and caregiver support is at the heart of the services that they provide to their community. I know that a patient anywhere in Canada will get personal attention. "Ferg DevinsPatient and Volunteer

"Thank you for responding so positively when we reached out! Your call and emails made all the difference with this diagnosis. You put us in touch with [a urologic oncologist] and without your support and referral, we’d probably be wrapping our heads around a radical cystectomy and all that goes with it. We are very grateful that we found BCC."Ray and Pat Wood
