**Bladder can.cer** often develops quietly, with symptoms that may seem minor but signal something serious. “Understanding the warning signs could save your life — or the life of someone you love.”
**What Is Bladder Can.cer?**
It begins when abnormal cells in the bladder grow uncontrollably, sometimes spreading to other organs. The American Cancer Society notes it’s common, especially in adults over 55. Early detection is key, but many confuse symptoms with UTIs or aging.

See a doctor if you notice:
– **Bl00d in urine** — “Your urine may appear pink, orange, or dark red.”
– **Frequent urination** or **urgency**
– **Pain or burning while urinating**
– **Difficulty starting urination**
– **Lower back or pelvic pain**
– **Unexplained weight loss or fatigue**
– **Swelling in the legs**
**Who’s at Risk?**
Men, people over 55, smokers, and those exposed to certain chemicals or with chronic bladder issues face higher risk.
**When to Act**
“If you notice any of these symptoms…see a doctor right away.” Early treatment boosts survival chances.
**Final Thought**
“Your body often gives you clues.” Don’t ignore them — early action could save your life.
