Hi Everyone

Today the Canadian Bladder Cancer Network officially opened. Our group of volunteers will be available to assist newly dx and veterans of this disease.
We are a non-profit group dedicated to bladder cancer support, awareness, and research.
Our group could not have got off the ground smoothly without the advice and support of BCAN.
Diane and Claire have been big supporters of our group since we had this vision in May of this year.
Thanks just does not seem to say enough.
Our web site www.cbcan.org is now on line and has been tested thoroughly thanks to many members of BCAN.
David Guttman and I, thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
Together We Are Better
Jack Moon
