A diagnosis of cancer will certainly get your attention. Your goals and expectations are going to change. The things that happen to you are so outrageously outside the norm, they get to be funny. In my case, I found that embracing the humor gave me a little separation between the person I've always been and the person this disease was turning me into. It also helped me find my way back. The Funny Thing About Bladder Cancer is my look back at the journey from health into sickness and finally back to health. I explore the doubt and fear of the early revelation, but also how acknowledging the ridiculous aspect of the situation help keep the fear in check.

Our understanding of the biology of bladder cancer has advanced remarkably since the second edition of 'Fast Facts: Bladder Cancer' was published in 2006. Five new immunotherapies targeting the PD-1 axis were approved in 2016 and 2017 for the treatment of advanced bladder cancer, reflecting this transformative explosion in knowledge about the biology of the disease. This new era of targeted treatment offers hope to patients, particularly those with advanced disease. However, for clinicians it means a lot to understand in terms of how these immunotherapies are integrated into the treatment paradigm. Who they are suitable for? When are they best used? What is the optimal sequence of treatments for individual patients? This third edition of 'Fast Facts: Bladder Cancer' has been updated extensively throughout by two new authors, bringing a fresh perspective. Key updates include: • the latest understanding of pathology and biology • current standards for investigation, imaging and diagnosis • the critical role that awareness of the significance of hematuria among patients and primary care health professionals can make to earlier detection at curable stages of the disease • the roles of drugs, surgery and radiation therapy in treatment at different stages of bladder cancer, and when and how best to intervene, aided by understanding of the risk factors for disease relapse and progression • a new chapter about immunotherapy for bladder cancer • future trends in a rapidly evolving field. 'Fast Facts: Bladder Cancer' is a concise guide that will be of value to clinicians and health professionals involved in the detection and treatment of bladder cancer. This highly readable resource provides a comprehensive and current view of this complex disease, enabling informed discussions with patients. Contents: • Epidemiology and etiology • Pathology and biology • Clinical presentation • Investigations • Management of non-muscle-invasive disease • Management of muscle-invasive disease • Management of advanced and metastatic disease • Immunotherapy • Future trends • Useful resources

What do people who have been diagnosed with terminal cancer do differently, to live a meaningful life? What do people do, when they have been told that they are living on borrowed time? What does it mean to break down all self-imposed barriers, to achieve a sense of personal freedom, while making sense of everything that does not seem to fit the puzzle of life? Dhushiyantha Kuladeva, (Dhush, as he is known within his inner circle), answers these questions in his first book titled The Audacity of Survival, and describes the experience as an opulent one. He synthesizes his personal experience in dealing with full blown cancer, and transfers an initially perturbed mindset into a positive one. He creates a personal blue print of learning, to discover endless possibilities from the vast labyrinth of experience, rolling up his sleeves, fighting tenaciously, and cherishing the golden empirical lessons from actually getting things done. The journey transcends over two decades and states very clearly that living life against all odds was never tantamount to a death sentence and sets out to live his life with extraordinary audacity, while recognizing that the journey could very well be the final chapter of his life. In an unusual marriage of ideals, Dhush talks about his opulent experience, while living with cancer, and took to the sheer brilliance of palette and fleece in the magnificent area of Persian and Oriental Rugs, and merges the relationship as a means of healing. This remarkable journey unfolds, as he begins to make sense of the existential infrastructure of life.... The audacity of survival an opulent experience is a personal account that obscures an extraordinary journey and a relentless story of life worth living.

But is he ready for what else he might find?
