Dorinda was 59 and thought she just had another sinus infection. When she saw blood in her urine but felt no pain, she knew something was wrong. A cystoscopy later revealed a tumor in her bladder and a diagnosis that changed everything.

In this cancer vlog, Dorinda shares how she pushed past dismissal, trusted her instincts, and found support in a urologist who truly listened. She opens up about surgery, BCG treatments, emotional burnout, and how she balanced medical advice with her own voice. Her story is one of self-advocacy, strength, and choosing quality of life through every decision.

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