💡 A #bladdercancer diagnosis does not just affect one person. It reaches partners, children & carers too. 🤝 Supporting carers is part of supporting the patient. #BCLEAR #EU4Health @WoncaEurope @WorldBladderCan @erasmusmcintl @CancerLeagues @PTUweb @EU_HaDEA

🗺️Where you live in Europe can shape how quickly you are #diagnosed and what treatment you are offered. Equal access should not depend on a post code. #BladderCancer #BCLEAR #EU4Health @WoncaEurope @WorldBladderCan @erasmusmcintl @CancerLeagues @PTUweb @EU_HaDEA

⏳ "I'll wait and see if it clears up." With #bladdercancer, waiting can mean worse outcomes. Knowing the warning signs is the first step to getting checked on time. #BCLEAR @WoncaEurope @WorldBladderCan @erasmusmcintl @CancerLeagues @PTUweb @EU_HaDEA

🔬More targeted research means more personalised treatment. And patient voices can help set the priorities, because no one knows the disease like the people living it. #BCLEAR #BladderCancer @WoncaEurope @WorldBladderCan @erasmusmcintl @CancerLeagues @PTUweb @EU_HaDEA

🤫 #Bladdercancer touches things we are taught to keep private, so too many people stay silent about their symptoms. 💬 But saying it out loud helps the next person know what to look for. #bclear @WoncaEurope @WorldBladderCan @erasmusmcintl @CancerLeagues @PTUweb @EU_HaDEA

👀 Picture someone with #bladdercancer. Did you picture an older man? 📊 It does not only affect older men. Around 1 in 4 patients is a woman. Younger adults get it too. Who else is being overlooked? @WoncaEurope @WorldBladderCan @erasmusmcintl @CancerLeagues @PTUweb @EU_HaDEA

🔥 That sting when you urinate? It is easy to write off as an infection. But it can also be an early sign of #bladdercancer Recognising the warning signs is the first step to early action. #BCLEAR @WoncaEurope @WorldBladderCan @erasmusmcintl @CancerLeagues @PTUweb @EU_HaDEA
