How I found out I had Bladder CANCER at 21! "Absolute SHOCK"
Brandon was a 21-year-old chemical engineering student when blood in his urine led to a bladder cancer diagnosis, something rarely seen in young adults. An urgent care visit and ultrasound revealed a high-grade Ta tumor. He shares what TURBT surgery and a year of BCG immunotherapy were really like, how he managed scanxiety during surveillance, and how he got through treatment while finishing his degree and starting medical school.
