Bladder Cancer Support Group
Bladder cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells in the bladder multiply without control. The greatest risk factor for bladder cancer is a genetic predisposition; it's also associated with smoking and occupational exposure to certain dyes (such as in textile factories), petrol and other chemicals.

Now as I said, I came to this sight to find out more on this cancer. I believe because he smokes and repairs truck tire at his facility that he contracted bladder cander. Does anyone out there have information about his occupation and cause this is his second time with this last time they cut some out went back to doc had something put through his pee hole and is having this again. I would like to know how you feel and what useful information I can pass on to him as he doesn't live here.

I have been a bladder cancer patient for 26 years, have had about 70 cystoscopy preceedures,all asleep. sometimes they cut very small tumors out. Today I am quite use to it and as long as I continue having these check ups I should be okay.Tell him to do the same and if he is still smoking.....Stop.

My intense research, that just doesn't quit, about 10 dr. apts, and visits to clinics have told me that it is an industrial disease and comon when working with inks, dyes etc. (My dad has bladder cancer and was a lithographer (printer, dealt with ink). It sickens me that the industry is not responsible to notify their union members to get regular check ups!
