    Thanks to everyone who joined us at “Understanding Bladder Cancer: BCAN’s Houston Patient Forum,” on Saturday, December 10, 2011 at the Houston Marriott at the Texas Medical Center in Houston, Texas. An expert panel of bladder cancer specialists from Baylor and MD Anderson gave a wonderful overview of many aspects of the disease.
