Synopsis

Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers--and one of the least discussed. But bladder cancer, like other kinds of cancer, will greatly change the life of anyone who has the disease. Learning to live with the challenge of bladder cancer means getting good medical care, building a support group, and gathering as much information as you can.

In The Guide to Living with Bladder Cancer, Dr. Mark Schoenberg and the faculty and staff of the Johns Hopkins Genitourinary Oncology Group provide this much-needed information, telling you what you need to know about symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. The book also includes valuable insights into patients' experiences and ways of coping, with statements from patients providing a personal perspective. Fully illustrated, The Guide to Living with Bladder Cancer helps make medical information accessible.With information and advice from leading doctors in the field, The Guide to Living with Bladder Cancer will be the bible for patients and families facing difficult and important decisions.
