Action Bladder Cancer UK The UK charity dedicated to improving the lives of people with bladder cancer.

Our vision is to stop bladder cancer by raising awareness of the symptoms, improving early diagnosis, supporting research into the causes and developing new, and better, ways of treatment and care for patients. We are working to get bladder cancer recognised as a common cancer which has not received the acknowledgement, level of public awareness, improvements in treatments or medical research investment it merits and bladder cancer patients deserve.

Urology Awareness Month at Kent & Canterbury!

A huge thank you to Di, one of our Patient Support Officers, and the wonderful team at Kent & Canterbury Hospital for hosting an ABC UK stall today and helping to raise awareness of bladder cancer and the support available to patients.

We were thrilled to have such an amazing team joining us for the day - including Erick, Urology Suite Manager, who even gave up his day off to come along!

And a lovely surprise to have Mr Papadopoulos pop down to say hello too!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, chatted with us and helped spread the word during Urology Awareness Month. Together, we can make sure more people know the signs and symptoms of bladder cancer.
