CurrentI assist BC patients and caregivers based on my personal experiences and manage distribution of free BCC Awareness and Educational material in the Kingston region.Since 2017, I have been helping Queens University med and A&S students create a bladder cancer society, Queens Awareness of Bladder Cancer (QABC) modelled after the Dalhousie DABC society.I am also available to small groups as a speaker for BCC on various topics. Email or message me if your business is in the Kingston region healthcare, urology sector and would like to have it added to our distribution list.Bladder Cancer Canada's mission is to help support patients, caregivers, increase awareness and fund research into bladder cancer. Each September, we organize a fund raising walk. In May we focus on education and raising awareness of bladder cancer by increasing connections to our local Facebook pages and other social media.The most frequently identified symptom of bladder cancer is blood in the urine (hematuria), occurring in more than 80% of cases. Other symptoms may include bladder spasms, increased frequency and urgency of urination, and burning sensation during urination.
