I haven't done it yet, but if I did research on the age that BC first is DX'D I would most likely find it to consist of older or "retired" people right?
If I further expound on this yet unproven theory, I would venture to guess that it becomes a disease of "not my problem" I'll worry about it when I am old.
Believing that the age does indeed affect an older population, this may explain why it is somewhat off the radar, because old people don't necessarily catch the symptoms, stubbornly may not treat the disease and then die quickly without much notice.
Unfortunately, it may take a President or famous movie star to get a full blown aggressive case and lose their organs to bring much need attention and seed money into getting the word out or funding research.
In my voluminous reading of late, BC can strike anyone at any age.
I am very interested in the science that is actually cloning or growing new bladders from the persons own viable tissue as an example. Or how about a mechanical bladder? I am just saying.
I did not even know BC existed unit it struck me.
