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.
Rating: 5 / 5
An excellent well-written,illustrated book on bladder cancer, the disease, the therapy, the treatment, the medical viewpoint as well as patient experiences. The information is top-notch and told in an easily understood format, yet medically correct. Not only is this book great for the bladder cancer patient but also for family members.It helps to cut through all the unknowns and the fears. I highly recommend it. Years ago, I looked for such a book to help understand my father’s condition, but none was available. Five stars plus to the author who took the time away from a busy medical practice to help educate the general public.

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.

Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer and the least discussed: Dr. Mark Schoenberg’s Guide To Living With Bladder Cancer tells what is needed to know about symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Chapters move from the basic initial signs of such cancer to treatment options and bladder preservation therapy. A quite comprehensive portrait evolves.
Rating: 5 / 5
Dr. Schoenberg writes not only to the patient but to the caregiver(s). His optimistic and reassuring approach is straight forward, no beating around the bush. The reader obtains a thoroughly well rounded education through Dr.Schoenbergs’ discussion of anatomy, analogies, drawings, treatments, and outcomes.
Great reference book should be in everyones library. My suggestion for the book would have been to list the major Bladder Cancer Centers in the United States. Enabling an individual to seek assistance in their own state other than Johns Hopkins, which is a fine Hospital.
I agree with previous reader websites would have been helpful.
Reading this book prior to visting your physician is strongly reccommended.
