Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer is a type of cancer that begins in your bladder — a balloon-shaped organ in your pelvic area that stores urine. Bladder cancer begins most often in the cells that line the inside of the bladder. Bladder cancer typically affects older adults, though it can occur at any age.

The great majority of bladder cancers are diagnosed at an early stage — when bladder cancer is highly treatable. However, even early-stage bladder cancer is likely to recur. For this reason, bladder cancer survivors often undergo follow-up tests for years after treatment to look for bladder cancer recurrence.

Bladder Cancer patients are recommended to take Vitamin A, Betacarotene, Vitamin C and Multivitamins. Also recommended diet rich in Vitamin E which includes nuts and olive oil. They are also advised to drink more pure water to lessen the time of stay of carcinogens (cancer causing agents) in the bladder to decrease possible further damage. Vegetables such as broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale are great antioxidants and have cancer fighting compounds. Fruits such as Apples, berries, cherries, oranges, pears and tomatoes help reduces the risk. - source: Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 5th ed,
