Bladder Cancer: A Patient-Friendly Guide to Understanding Your Diagnosis and Treatment Options resulted from a unique collaboration between doctors and patients. It started when David Pulver was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2007 and got a second opinion from Mark Schoenberg, MD, an internationally acknowledged authority on bladder cancer. They formed a partnership--not only to treat David's bladder cancer but also to write a patient-friendly book for other patients diagnosed with this disease. The book combines expert medical information with a clear writing style that organizes and presents the information in the most patient-friendly way. When you are diagnosed with bladder cancer or have a recurrence of your disease, many questions start running through your mind. What does my diagnosis mean? What are my treatment options? How serious is my disease? Can I be cured? To grapple with these questions, you need to understand your diagnosis and learn about your treatment options-- so you can get the best possible outcomes for your disease. The mission of this book is to educate you about bladder cancer so you can understand your diagnosis and make informed decisions regarding your treatment and care. This book will help you be a proactive patient, have better conversations with your doctor, and become your own advocate in fighting your disease. What You Will Learn from This Book This book is organized into 14 chapters and 4 appendixes. You should first read Chapters 1-5, which provide information all patients with bladder cancer need to know. Topics include how to become a proactive patient, the anatomy and functions of the urinary system, how bladder cancer is diagnosed, and what you need to know to understand your diagnosis. The next step is to read the specific chapter or chapters that discuss the treatment options for your specific diagnosis. Chapters 6-13 include detailed information about the treatment options for the different types and stages of bladder cancer. Finally, Chapter 14 discusses the challenges bladder cancer survivors face as they transition from active treatment to follow-up care. In addition, there are 4 appendixes, including a glossary of bladder cancer terms and a list of bladder cancer resources for patients and their families. This book addresses the questions, concerns, and challenges that confront people diagnosed with bladder cancer and those who love and support them.

The bladder is an organ that holds urine earlier than it leaves the body. More than ninety percentage of bladder cancers begin in the cells that make up the innermost lining of the bladder wall. Bladder most cancers can be dealt with with surgery, chemotherapy, intravesical chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiation therapy. What are the ranges of bladder cancer? Bladder most cancers can be both early stage (confined to the lining of the bladder) or invasive (penetrating the bladder wall and per chance spreading to close by organs or lymph nodes). The degrees vary from TA (confined to the interior lining of the bladder) to IV (most invasive). In the earliest tiers (TA, T1 or CIS), the most cancers is restricted to the lining of the bladder or in the connective tissue simply beneath the lining, however has now not invaded into the predominant muscle wall of the bladder. Stages II to IV denote invasive cancer: - In Stage II, most cancers has unfold to the muscle wall of the bladder. - In Stage III, the most cancers has unfold to the fatty tissue outdoor the bladder muscle. - In Stage IV, the most cancers has metastasized from the bladder to the lymph nodes or to different organs or bones.

CAUSE, CURE AND CANCER FREE is the self-help autobiography of John Marra, a Cleveland Ohio business man who found out he had cancer and decided to do something about it. Instead of giving in to the doctors around him that were insisting he would die if he didn't have an operation to help fix what was wrong inside of him, John decided to learn about what causes cancer and how to beat it. He did just that. After researching for what seemed like forever, John totally came to the conclusion that the only way to rid himself of cancer was to COMPLETELY change his lifestyle, starting with what he ate. He found that by making sure his ph levels in his blood stayed not to acidic or become saturated with alkaline, he would be able to really help his body fight the disease that was killing him. Along with this, he also learned that this wouldn't be enough to make sure his cancer would stay away. He had to also do several other important things, all of which he explains in this book. John Marra is currently cancer free and hopes to remain this way. He also wants everyone out there to realize they, too, can beat cancer, and become a cancer escapee like he did. It's not an absolute cure by any means, but it's a chance for many people who have been told they don't have one when it comes to fighting cancer.

This book is partly based on research funded by Wereld Kanker Onderzoek Fonds based in the Netherlands and administered by the World Cancer Research Fund International grant program. Every year half a million of people worldwide are diagnosed with bladder cancer. With the recent zeitgeist of the self-empowered, intelligent patient who wishes to be well-informed, many cancer patients do not solely want to rely on decisions taken by medical practitioners, but actively participate in the journey from sickness to health or disease. While no books about the relationship between diet and bladder cancer currently exist, the poor quality of the existing information about the relationship between diet and health is shocking. Much of the information is exaggerated, not evidence-based, misleading and sometimes even incorrect. Dr. Maurice Zeegers, one of the world leading bladder cancer epidemiologists, and his co-authors set the record straight with this book on Diet and Fighting Bladder Cancer. Their aim is to provide purely evidence-based information about the relationship between diet and bladder cancer. The primary audience is bladder cancer patients who wish to be well-informed, although clinicians and healthcare workers may also find the book an interesting read. The book gives an honest reflection on what scientists know, but also what they don’t yet know about how diet contributes to all stages of this important disease. Although science-based, the book is written in an easy-to-read format, illustrated with practical recipes. Presents purely evidence-based information about the relationship between diet and bladder cancer Provides patients, clinicians and healthcare workers with trusty and up-to-date scientific information Written by one of the world leading bladder cancer epidemiologists Explained in an easy-to-read format, accessible to not only specialists but non-specialists as well Illustrated with tasty and practical recipes

A provocative and surprising investigation into the ways that profit, personalities, and politics obstruct real progress in the war on cancer—and one doctor's passionate call to action for change This year, nearly 1.6 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed and more than 1,500 people will die per day. We've been asked to accept the disappointing strategy to "manage cancer as a chronic disease." We've allowed pharmaceutical companies to position cancer drugs that extend life by just weeks and may cost $100,000 for a single course of treatment as breakthroughs. Why have we been able to cure and prevent other killer diseases but not most cancers? Where is the bold government leadership that will transform our system from treatment to prevention? Have we forgotten the mission of the National Cancer Act of 1971, to "conquer cancer"? Through an analysis of over 40 years of medical evidence and interviews with cancer doctors, researchers, drug company executives, and health policy advisors, Dr. Cuomo reveals frank and intriguing answers to these questions. She shows us how all cancer stakeholders—the pharmaceutical industry, government, physicians, and concerned Americans—can change the way we view and fight cancer in this country.

Back To Life: A Bladder Cancer Journey by Frank Sadowski is a first-person narrative covering the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment decisions, surgery and recovery of one man diagnosed with advanced bladder cancer in 2007. While doubtless of interest to bladder cancer patients, the book is written as an exciting adventure with many twists and turns that will appeal to all. While ultimately a story of survival, it carries strong themes of persistence, commitment, friendship and love. The frankness of the storytelling is skillfully offset with lighter touches and humor, and the story races to an unexpectedly heart-pounding ending. "As a Stage 4 melanoma survivor, I found myself deeply moved by - and profoundly grateful for - Frank Sadowski's honest and enlightening account of what it's really like inside the cancer experience. But more than that, simply as a reader, I was enthralled with his effortless gift for compelling storytelling. "Back to Life" is full of humor, suspense, and grit, a medical drama that brims with heart and soul." -- Mary Elizabeth Williams, staff writer at Salon.com and author of "Gimme Shelter" and "A Series of Catastrophes and Miracles: A True Story of Love, Science, and Cancer." From the foreword by Sia Daneshmand, M.D.: This is the first book of its kind. There is a paucity of public attention to this prevalent disease, and bladder cancer research is severely underfunded. Back to Life: A Bladder Cancer Journey highlights this important subject and encourages patients and physicians alike to understand the dilemma from the patient's perspective and to appreciate the anguish they go through following the initial consultation. It is important to know that patients can fully emerge from the initial difficult recovery period following a radical cystectomy to lead unrestricted, productive lives. Through this honest and moving account of his cancer journey, Frank shows us how this can be done. His story should prove enlightening and inspiring to patients grappling with illness and difficult treatment decisions, as well as to medical professionals and indeed to anyone with an interest in how persons facing profound challenges find it within themselves to cope wisely and courageously.

Some people suffer from chronic, debilitating disorders for which no conventional treatment brings relief. Can marijuana ease their symptoms? Would it be breaking the law to turn to marijuana as a medication? There are few sources of objective, scientifically sound advice for people in this situation. Most books about marijuana and medicine attempt to promote the views of advocates or opponents. To fill the gap between these extremes, authors Alison Mack and Janet Joy have extracted critical findings from a recent Institute of Medicine study on this important issue, interpreting them for a general audience. Marijuana As Medicine? provides patientsâ€"as well as the people who care for themâ€"with a foundation for making decisions about their own health care. This empowering volume examines several key points, including: Whether marijuana can relieve a variety of symptoms, including pain, muscle spasticity, nausea, and appetite loss. The dangers of smoking marijuana, as well as the effects of its active chemical components on the immune system and on psychological health. The potential use of marijuana-based medications on symptoms of AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and several other specific disorders, in comparison with existing treatments. Marijuana As Medicine? introduces readers to the active compounds in marijuana. These include the principal ingredient in Marinol, a legal medication. The authors also discuss the prospects for developing other drugs derived from marijuana's active ingredients. In addition to providing an up-to-date review of the science behind the medical marijuana debate, Mack and Joy also answer common questions about the legal status of marijuana, explaining the conflict between state and federal law regarding its medical use. Intended primarily as an aid to patients and caregivers, this book objectively presents critical information so that it can be used to make responsible health care decisions. Marijuana As Medicine? will also be a valuable resource for policymakers, health care providers, patient counselors, medical faculty and studentsâ€"in short, anyone who wants to learn more about this important issue.
