Tom Faced Bladder Cancer and Pancreatic Cancer – at the Same Time

Tom had a history of cancer in his family, but never expected what happened to him. After not feeling well for a while, Tom was diagnosed with both pancreatic cancer and bladder cancer. He talks about his two cancer journeys and offers an optimistic and uplifting perspective, particularly about his bouts with bladder cancer with BCAN associate Joslyn Brown.

Tom is active with BCAN’s Survivor to Survivor program matching newly diagnosed bladder cancer patients with trained volunteers who lend a sympathetic ear as well as what BCAN has meant to him.
