Fight Bladder Cancer charity has launched the first-ever suite of ten information booklets to support patients at every stage of their cancer journey.
Over 20,000 people are diagnosed with bladder cancer every year in the UK. Following extensive research of 1,000 patients and carers,1 the charity identified that there was a major gap in the support and information available to bladder cancer patients and cancer specialists and that much of the information that existed was too technical and inaccessible. This gap has widened in recent months as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has led to a massive drop in the number of opportunities for patients to meet face-to-face with medical professionals to discuss their illness.
