t is important to find someone you can interact with well that has a lot of knowledge about bladder cancer. We know it it is stressful trying to make sure you make the right choices and we are here for you.
The truth of the matter is that I was just at a symposium with the best minds in bladder cancer. And they did not always agree.....

Not the most scientific approach but it worked for me and in truth I could not have made a bad choice but I made the one that was right for me.
