Review for American Bladder Cancer Society Inc, Dalton, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Since the change in doctors, I have realized that I should have gone to this new doctor in the first place. Having a serious disease like T1G3 bladder cancer, I should have been at a major teaching hospital. Also, I am now seeing personal experience of others who faced the same difficult choices I am now facing. I will likely face bladder removal and the American Bladder Cancer Society has put much information on the various options for me to explore. I am very thankful for this very valuable resource.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

1. I was shown I needed more experience than that of my former urologist. 2. I am seeing personal experiences of others with my disease. 3. So much information I need to make important choices in the very near future is available and is really helping me.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Getting first hand experience from others dealing with my disease.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Doctors, nurses, ordinary people.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Promote bladder cancer as a disease that needs much more funding for advancing treating the disease. Bladder cancer is relatively unknown among cancer types and doesn't receive the attention it needs.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every month

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Role:  Client Served & I received excellent information which prompted me to go to a doctor at a major teaching hospital.
