Our phone and on-line One2One 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.
Email us at support@bladdercancercanada.org or call 1-866-674-8889 and leave a voice mail. We are committed to replying within two business days.
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.
