It's pretty serious. Also, I think it has a tendency to spread. I had an uncle who died from it. To put it in statistics, survival rates are:
84.3 percent for Caucasian men
78.6 percent for Caucasian women
69.7 percent for African American men
53.9 percent for African American women.
Of course, that also depends on what stage it's caught in.

See science has developed very much today and chemotherapy drugs are so potent that many of the cancer patients including bladder cancer patients are living for 10 years or more and if diagonised early will have a full life. Do not panic and see a oncologist immediately.

Bladder cancer is curable if caught early. It is very serious and must be treated.

Plenty. My uncle had it. He's been messed up ever since. Still alive though - but still looking for his bladder.

Very serious if they don't catch it in time.
