Diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2017, podcast host, Cindy Lawson, navigates the dizzying array of information available on the topic. She'll discuss her own experiences; those of other patients in varying stages of the disease, and offer viewpoints of medical experts.

TURB-whaaat?? Your doctor has found a mass in your bladder. Let's talk about how it's removed with Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor surgery (TURBT).

So your doctor saw a tumor in your bladder... What's next?

Hey everyone. In this episode, I talk about my very first cystoscopy when my doctor determined that I had a tumor growing in my bladder... and what happened from there.

Trans-Urethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) surgery doesn't have to be scary if you know what to expect. This procedure is the first step in determining the path forward on your bladder cancer journey. I hope that by sharing my own experience with TURBT surgery, I can help to alleviate any fears or anxiety about this commonly performed procedure.

In this podcast, I also mention the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (www.BCAN.org). It's a fantastic site with a wealth of information, videos and podcasts about bladder cancer diagnoses, grades, stages, surgeries, treatments... the works! Check it out for more information on TURBTs.

If you'd like to share your story on my Bladder Cancer Patient-to-Patient podcast, I would love to hear from you! We all are on a very unique journey. Whether you are newly diagnosed, or you've been walking this path for a while, there are others who may benefit or find comfort in what you have to share.
