I'm a process oriented guy with a history of bladder cancer and I decided to put together a process flow chart of the bladder cancer journey. My hope is that this will be helpful for patients to use with their doctors to understand next steps and normal treatment options depending on stage, grade, or recurrence.
Rather than try to keep multiple versions of this up to date, I am just putting the link here to take you to the site where I originally posted it.
I've gotten some great feedback from other bladder cancer interested parties and incorporated it into the flow.
See: http://www.bladdercancersupport.org/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=114& func=view&catid=3&id=28419&limit=6&limitstart=6#28483
There is an image of the overall flow on that page as well as a link to download the pdf (Adobe Acrobat) file. I suggest the pdf file as it is much higher resolution and much easier to read.
I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice. I am a bladder cancer survivor and have reviewed this with other bladder cancer survivors. The purpose is for patient education and as a aid to discussion with your medical professionals (hopefully at a bladder cancer center).
Feel free to share it any way you think useful.
