In the UK around 20,000 people are diagnosed with bladder cancer each year. It is one of the ten most common cancers and has the highest recurrence rate of any known cancer. It can affect both men and women of all ages, however over half of bladder cancer diagnoses are male.
Bladder Cancer Awareness month is observed across of May and is an annual campaign to raise awareness of bladder cancer and its symptoms in order to highlight early diagnosis and treatment.
Bladder cancer usually takes a while to develop, and its not always known what causes it. You may be at increased risk of bladder cancer if:
you're aged 60 and over
you're male
you smoke
you've had a urinary catheter in for a long time
you've had radiotherapy for cancer before
you're overweight
a close relative has had bladder cancer
you have certain conditions, such as diabetes
you've worked with chemicals, such as those used in the textile industry, or handling carbon or crude oil
Key symptoms include blood in the urine, the persistent or recurrent need to pass urine more often or more urgently and pelvic pain or discomfort. Some of these symptoms are very common and can be caused by other conditions but it is important to get them checked by a GP.

My breathing became easier, the tightness in my chest eased, and I felt more energetic and capable in my daily life. Incredibly, I also regained much of my stamina and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience…
