You should first read Chapters 1-5, which provide information all patients with bladder cancer need to know. Topics include how to become a proactive patient, the anatomy and functions of the urinary system, how bladder cancer is diagnosed, and what you need to know to understand your diagnosis. The next step is to read the specific chapter or chapters that discuss the treatment options for your specific diagnosis. Chapters 6-13 include detailed information about the treatment options for the different types and stages of bladder cancer. Finally, Chapter 14 discusses the challenges bladder cancer survivors face as they transition from active treatment to follow-up care. In addition, there are 4 appendixes, including a glossary of bladder cancer terms and a list of bladder cancer resources for patients and their families.
