A Must Read for Anyone Diagnosed with Bladder Cancer by Andrea Sue (Bethesda, MD)  5 Stars
July 20, 2009
This book was recommended to me shortly after my husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer. It's outstanding and should be the first read upon learning of this diagnosis. It covers everything that a patient (and loved ones) should know.

Excellent in Part, But Becoming Outdated by G. McKee (San Diego, CA., USA)  3 Stars
February 19, 2008
Published in 2000, this is an excellent book for one to begin to get information on bladder cancer. However, we find it is becoming quite outdated. For example, chemotherapy drugs have progressed beyond those referenced in the text and CT equipment is now newer than that which appears to have been standard when the book was written. The authors could do a tremendous service by updating this book, and in so doing, provide a great service to many people with this disease.

This is a superb book on a dreadful disease, by J. Ashley (Maryland) 5 Stars
May 05, 2006
written by a very talented and capable doctor. Johns Hopkins is an outstanding facility, filled with top-level physicians.
Dr. Schoenberg rises to the top! He is straight forward and chillingly honest with his patients. You can believe what he says when the patient is under great pressure to make a decision about a very serious condition and surgery. This book is most helpful in helping a patient make a wise decision. I have not found another book that spells it out and tells it as it is. I own two copies and am constantly allowing friends to borrow one while they make this terrible discovery and decision on their life and future. Highly recommend it.

It's good to know you're not alone! by J. W. Cross (Alexandria, Virginia)  4 Stars
October 18, 2003
Bladder cancer is a very common form of cancer. It is a messy disease and painful. Despite its frequent occurrence, there is little public discussion of its symptoms or treatments. So until I became a bladder cancer patient, I knew essentially nothing about this disease. But bladder cancer patients need good information fast. There are critical treatment decisions to be made right after the initial diagnosis, and the choices one makes will affect one's future quality of life to a major degree. Discussions with one's urologist are helpful, but there is much to learn if one wishes to make informed decisions. Mark Schoenberg's book provides the essential facts to help bladder cancer patients make those critical decisions. I know: it helped me.

Extremly well written by Allan Adelson (Hazlet, NJ United States) 5 Stars
December 08, 2002
Written in plain English, so you can understand everything that's necessary about bladder cancer. No need to sit with a medical dictionairy to explain terms, since everything is put in plain words. I have bladder cancer and this book has put the disease in perspective for me. I would advise anyone that wants to understand this form of cancer to read it now.
