On the last day of #BladderCancerAwarenessMonth - a reminder: Blood in your pee is a warning sign. It might look like: • Pink • Red • Brown or rusty • Streaks of blood Even if you notice this just once, don’t ignore it. It could be a symptom of #bladdercancer #BCAM

“There were two tiny spots of blood, the size of a pin head, on the paper. A couple of weeks later, I noticed blood again, along with a streak of blood in my urine.” Blood in your urine is the most common symptom of #bladdercancer & it should always be checked, even if it only happens once. #BCAM
