It never hurts to lead a healthy life style and eat a good diet. HOWEVER, we need to remember that while smoking has been shown to be linked to bladder cancer, we do not know most of the causes. And, contrary to advertising we see there is no "magic" potion or vitamin to "cure" cancer.
Whatever caused and started the tumor growth happened years ago. Cancer develops very slowly as one cell changes and then others follow. Something years ago caused the tissues in the lining of your bladder to develop tumors. If we just knew what that was!!!
Good luck to you.
