We Were So AFRAID When He Was Diagnosed with BLADDER CANCER! - David | Caregiver | The Patient Story

David’s partner Laurent noticed that the last drops of his urine were faintly pink. They began monitoring it daily, unsure of what it meant, until doctors confirmed a diagnosis that changed their lives forever.

This is a story about dealing not only with bladder cancer, but trying to help change and save lives of other patients and caregivers in Spain with a one-of-a-kind endeavor: Starting a patient advocacy group.

In this cancer vlog, David shares his story as a devoted care partner, from managing appointments and paperwork to standing beside Laurent through fear, treatment decisions, and recovery. Together, they sought multiple opinions, built an alliance for patients in Spain, and turned their pain into purpose. Their journey shows how love, communication, and awareness can save lives.

Thank you, David, for sharing your story to help others.
