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.

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.
