How My Mom Helped Me Through My CANCER Diagnosis - Mary Beth & Mary | Caregiver | The Patient Story

Mary Beth was diagnosed with bladder cancer after noticing small amounts of blood in her urine. At first, she thought it was just a UTI or part of her cycle. But as the symptoms persisted, a visit to the urologist revealed tumors in her bladder.

In this cancer vlog, Mary Beth opens up about navigating a high-grade bladder cancer diagnosis and going through BCG immunotherapy while juggling work and life. Her mother, Mary, shares what it was like stepping into the role of caregiver, offering not just logistical help but emotional support and presence. Together, they reflect on how this experience brought them closer as mother and daughter and as women supporting each other through crisis, connection, and healing.

Thank you, Mary Beth and Mary, for sharing your story to help others.
