Hello All,

I am posting for a friend of mine who lives in the USA. She has been recently diagnosed with Bladder cancer (not staged yet) I am sharing some information she provided to me:

For the past two years,  I was experiencing lower back pain and multiple UTIs every 2 months. The last 3 UTIs  had blood and passing of a small clot which was not a norm for UTI. They finally determined it was bladder cancer.  I’m scheduled for surgery for removal of the tumor on May 22. My oncologist will take samples around the area to confirm if any activity has moved beyond the growth area, they will fill the site with toxin to kill and desensitize the area. Assuming from the biopsy that the cancer has not spread to muscle or outside the bladder there should be no further surgery and no Chemo (I pray for this).  If it did spread, a treatment plan will be developed. 

I am looking for the following to share with her:
-information about online bladder patient support groups to recommend to her
-treatment experiences of other bladder cancer patients (pro and con)
- perhaps a bladder cancer buddy etc.  

This is an extremely smart group and I hope that a bladder cancer patient may post publicly or write to me privately.  I will present information about the Budwig Protocol to her but not she will be able to do it.  As I told her, "I want to give you information not conversation."

Thank you very much in advance for any information you can provide 
Monica
