A webinar of COVID-19 impacts to bladder cancer treatments in British Columbia

[Joe]

Below is the link to the video of Dr. Peter Black giving a talk to the support group in Vancouver region re: COVID-19 impact to bladder cancer patients treatment in British Columbia.  The talk was followed by Q&A with participants to BCC patients support group.  Though provinces may be different, most topics are relevant to all provinces in Canada.  It is a long video but you can find index (timeline) of the video which tells which part of video talks about a certain topic.   The meeting was held virtually and Dr. Black and the participants of the meeting  had agreed to publish to public so any Canadian bladder cancer patients can view the video.  Please note that the presentation by Dr. Black is viewable but Q&As by participants are voice only to protect privacy of the participants.

Love to know what’s happening to bladder cancer patients treatment in other provinces.

Good presentation. Thanks for sharing. I used the risk/benefit analysis to help decide to keep my BCG maintenance appointments this month. Fortunately they were not cancelled or postponed. Sometimes you are lucky to live in rural Ontario.
