Our phone and on-line Peer Support Volunteers can offer understanding and help to patients and their caregivers. We do not offer medical advice, but we can talk to a patient or a caregiver from the perspective of someone who has “been there”. We can help you find answers to your questions or concerns.
Contact Randy by email at randys@bladdercancercanada.org or call us at 1-866-674-8889 and leave a voice mail. We will strive to return your call within 24 business hours.
In-person Bladder Cancer Support Groups are listed below. If you don’t see one listed for your region, and would like to start your own support group, please contact us and we will assist you in getting it launched. Alternatively, you may wish to visit our online Discussion Forum where patients, survivors, caregivers, and loved ones support each other through the different stages in their journey with bladder cancer.
