Bladder Cancer
Over half of the individuals with bladder cancer are over 65 years old. Research reveals that back in 2020, over 83,000 people were diagnosed with bladder cancer, and over 17,000 people passed away from this illness.
More than 70% of those who have this type of cancer survive more than five years after they get a diagnosis. As of now, there are no recommended routine screenings for bladder cancer. Nevertheless, your physician may recommend testing if you have specific risk factors.
These can include a history of bladder cancer or other bladder issues. There are many types of treatment options for bladder cancer, including radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy.
Speak with your doctor about the options available to you. And be on the lookout for symptoms of this aggressive cancer type, including:
-Painful urination
-Blood in urine
-Having to urinate more than usual, including overnight
-Difficulties urinating or a weak urine stream
-Urgency: feeling like you need to go immediately

Colon cancer preventable, eh? WITH INSURANCE, our quoted share for a screen was $1800 dollars! OUR SHARE WITH INSURANCE! We noticed that now it is required that it be done in a FACILITY (triggering a “facility chg”); anesthesia (anesthesia chg + anesthesiologist) and 1 other I can remember. These used to be done in a doc’s office. They gave u 1 pill to relax u, & u could watch the whole thing being done on the screen.
Inflated prices, unnecessary rules, & ppl with insurance paying for those without.
So how many of u are rushing out to pay for ur $1800 roto rooter check?
AI in the help to cure cancer. It looks like human life’s biggest problem and should be using AI immediately.
I was diagnosis with endometrial cancer and had the proverbial surgery (stage 3). All I was told was “we have a lot of work to do” – no explanation of what was or is – see me in 3 weeks (which I only got to see his nurse). I had to wait 5-6 week before I could get an answer if this was fatal or not. SO NEVER BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE ON TV OR READ. I had to do my own research on treatments/cancer/etc. there was no compassion, etc. The medical end of this diagnosis sucks. You are on your own. Was even told KEYTO was part of the treatment because the “advertisement says so”. What a way to go.
