Bladder Cancer: Our Voices, Our Stories

The Many Faces of Bladder Cancer: Voices of Strength and Resilience

A Patient & Care Partner Video Series

Bladder cancer affects thousands of individuals each year, yet too often, the voices of those facing this disease go unheard. In this video series, we spotlight the personal experiences of bladder cancer patients and care partners, offering insight, education, and a sense of community.

Through four powerful video essays, we bring attention to key aspects of bladder cancer—early detection, risk factors, treatment options, emotional and physical support, and the crucial role of care partners.

Each story is a testament to resilience and serves as a guide for those navigating this diagnosis.
