Mr Gommersall delivered an informative talk to the Moorlands Cancer Support Group in Cheadle on 19th November 2011. This meeting was well attended and the interesting presentation provoked many questions.
Mr Gommersall talked widely about the excellent bladder cancer services available locally, and showed videos on photodynamic diagnosis and keyhole bladder removal. The central focus of Mr Gommersall’s patient care is to give patient information to enhance the patients understanding throughout their cancer journey.
The key message was that if blood is seen in the urine, medical advice should be sought from the GP and a referral to hospital should be made for further investigations, so that the possibility of bladder cancer can be investigated.
