2. Description of Bladder Cancer
Symptoms and characteristics
Bladder cancer occurs when abnormal bladder cells grow and divide beyond their usual boundaries. 
Most often these cells start to grow on the inner layer of the bladder; however, sometimes this growth can expand into the deeper bladder layers, making the cancer increasingly difficult to treat.
Bladder Cancer is the 6th most commonly diagnosed cancer in the U.S.

3. Description of Bladder Cancer
Affected
Bladder cancer symptoms include painless blood in the urine or frequent and painful urination. Bladder cancer is highly treatable with options such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.
About 9 out of 10 people with this cancer are over the age of 55.
Outlook or quality of life
After you get your treatment for bladder cancer you have a very high chance of still getting bladder cancer again.
Doctors want to watch you closely to see that you’re doing well and so you wont get bladder cancer again.
