  • Canadian BLC Support Group Now Available

    Posted by Moonerj on November 2, 2009 at 8:45 pm

    Hi Everyone

    Today the Canadian Bladder Cancer Network is born. We are a non-profit national support group available to assist newly dx, and veterans of this disease. We have received approval from the Charitable Guardian in Canada.

    Our thrust will be patient support, awareness, and research. We thank Cynthia for her support and the ability to link to this great site here, and members of ABLCS assisting me testing our website. http://www.cbcan.org.

    We have a medical advisory board of 13 top Canadian Urologists, who will answer patient questions on our discussion forum. The Urologists have been big supporters of our group since this dream began. Thanks everyone. Together We Are Better Jack Moon President CBCAN

    Yay! I am glad to hear that Jack.
    I’ve learned a lot from you and want others to have that chance as well.

    Hi Mike

    This site was the first support group I found when I was struggling with this disease.
    ABLCS has the best website for bladder cancer, and the most knowledgeable support group I have come across.
    It was very important to me to get our site directly linked to ABLCS. The information about bladder cancer and the PEOPLE here are Second to none.
    I still attend the Sunday night chats when I can, and will continue. I just can not see a day, if I have access to a computer, I would not check in here ABLCS.
    Jack:)
