Bladder Cancer Awareness Month
About five percent of all cancers are bladder cancer, so educate yourself and others on the signs, symptoms, and treatments for this painful disease.
Bladder Cancer Awareness Month is held annually and is a global campaign that focuses attention on bladder cancer.
Around five percent of all cancer cases are bladder cancer. Bladder Cancer Awareness Month is about letting people know about this lesser-known form of cancer as well as raising money to support those that have bladder cancer. There are several different ways that you can take part in Bladder Cancer Awareness Month.
