Leaving us all devastated and not understanding how she was taken from us so quickly!! How does a fit and what we thought a healthy mum, pass so quick!
Bladder cancer is known as a silent killer.
More funding and research is desperately needed.
Please give anything you can, every little donation really does and can make a difference
Bladder cancer is not a rare cancer - it is of the ten most common cancers in the UK - that's 4% of all new cases.Over 20,000 people are diagnosed each year, and many of those will die. Despite this, there is very limited public awareness of the disease and it is a low priority on the public health agenda. Treatments have changed very little over the past 30 years and research is seriously underfunded. Bladder cancer has been called a 'Cinderella' cancer. ABC UK is dedicated to changing this and to giving bladder cancer patients a voice.
