Hi everyone,

As we head into the festive season in our COVID normal world, we wish everyone the best for a safe period ahead and happy times with friends and loved ones.

The world body for bladder cancer patients has launched a new survey for those who have been affected by the disease. This is a really important tool for helping us to understand bladder cancer.

A call out to all patients and medicos: Please promote this survey to as many bladder cancer patients as possible, past & present.
