Greetings to everyone during the Festive Season!
It was 7 years ago this week when I was admitted to hospital for my radical cystectomy & neo bladder operation. For me it's a great time to celebrate life, having beaten bladder cancer. It's also a reflective time when I recall lost loved ones and dear friends who weren't as lucky as I was.
We started our Bladder Cancer organisation five years ago. Born out of thanks for my amazing medical team, and a need in the community for a central point for all people suffering because of bladder cancer. We have developed a great suite of materials, and have distributed over 5,000 booklets, with weekly requests. We have a lot of plans for the year ahead, but we need your support to do more.
Please consider a Christmas Donation to help us meet our goals. It’s easy: Donate here. ANZUP Bladder Cancer Trials
We have posted update on current ANZUP Bladder Cancer click trials that we publicised in our last newsletter. These trials are open and currently recruiting which might be helpful for both patients and doctors. BCG Update
As seems to be the case annually, there is a shortage of BCG availability. BCG is hard to obtain world wide due to OncoTice stock shortage. The company Te Arai Bio Farma, can sometimes help with supplies in both Australia and New Zealand. Their product has been used in both countries in previous shortages.
For information contact Matthew Kerr matt.kerr@PROTECTED or 1800 TE ARAI.
