Why It Matters
Most people don’t think about their bladder until it’s too late. These facts change that.
Spot the Signs
Blood in the urine, frequent urination, or lower back pain? Don’t ignore it. Know the symptoms.
Bladder Cancer Isn’t Rare
It’s the 5th most common cancer in Canada. Still think it’s nothing?
Early Detection Saves Lives
Caught early, bladder cancer is highly treatable. Most people don’t catch it in time.
Break the Silence
Too many are embarrassed to talk about it. Pee Proud helps you speak up.
Founder’s Story
I didn’t have symptoms. I had luck.
I wasn’t in pain. I didn’t see blood. I wasn’t worried.
A CT scan for something else uncovered it—by accident.
Bladder cancer.
No warning. No headline. No one talking about it.
That moment changed everything. I learned that bladder cancer is the 5th most common cancer, yet no one seems to know. There’s no ribbon in sight, no viral campaigns, no urgency—just silence.
That’s why I started Pee Proud. Not for sympathy. Not for clicks. But because this disease needs a voice. And I’m here to make noise.
If I hadn’t caught it early, I might not be here writing this.
Let’s change how we talk about bladder cancer.
Let’s save lives by saying what others won’t.
Let’s be proud to talk about what others hide.
