BLADDER CANCER missed in CHAIR of Cambridge ADDENBROOKE'S HOSPITAL

From UK DAILY MAIL

The cancer was diagnosed and removed by doctors at the award-winning Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.(SCIENTIST)  Dr Archer has been a member of the hospital’s governing NHS trust for 18 years and chairman for the past nine.

Lord Archer, 71, and his wife have not spoken publicly about the cancer, which was discovered last November. But they have decided to break their silence in a bid to inspire others who contract the same type of cancer, which is far more prevalent in men.

Dr Archer told me that the first sign something was wrong was when she noticed blood in her urine. ‘I want to reassure people that a lot of the time, blood in the urine is a symptom of nothing more serious than an infection. You don’t need to assume the worst.’

(COMMENT: BAD ADVICE. Monthly dip-stick testing for microscopic haematuria after 40y. can lead to early cancer diagnosis. Problem is that personal dip-stick tests are not covered by Ontario State medical insurance, Cost about $70 for 100 ROCHE Chemstrips.obtainable on-line.)
