I can think of a few celebrities that have had BC. Latest is Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead. Pretty sure Kiowa played with them for a turn?

Here is the brief article, looks like they caught it early:

One that surprised me and I still have the article from People magazine somewhere is Rolling Stone Keith Richard’s wife Patty. She underwent chemo and then had a neo bladder done. I think that was in 2010. I don’t know if she is still okay. Another I believe was Andy Williams – he died from it. Margaret Thatcher had bladder cancer as well but I do believed she died of other causes.

That for me proves one thing – BC knows no boundaries.
