Florida Bladder Cancer Awareness


Katy’s Mission:

To promote bladder cancer awareness to the Florida public. If I can help just one person, then maybe together we can spread the word. Knowing the signs and symptoms can save your life!

Katy’s Story:

Even though I was in the health care field for 20 years and taught smoking cessation classes, I never knew a patient with bladder cancer and never heard of bladder cancer prior to my diagnosis. The signs and symptoms I experienced were classified as a UTI. It wasn’t until a year later that I started to experience intermittent hematuria followed my gross hematuria. It took one and a half years before I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. My goal is to promote bladder cancer awareness in the state of Florida.

My motto:

We each receive blessings along life’s paths. When we do we should pay it forward. A kind act always goes a long way. I thank God every day for being with me along life’s path. I thank physicians who work so hard, medical staff personal who are there with a kind word or smile. I also thank scientists, researchers and generous financial supporters that help find cures.

YMCA and Livestrong Program Free to Cancer Survivors

January 20, 2015 - I joined the Livestrong program at the Crosby Center YMCA in Winter Park, Florida.  After spending a year researching nutrition, I realized that I needed to work on my physical fitness and strength.  I found out about this program from a blog by Wendy Chioji, a local reporter.  I remembered reading that she had a second bout with cancer this year and I wanted to see how she was doing.  She has been my inspiration for years as an optimistic fighter against this terrible disease and she is an advocate for the Livestrong program.  Here is her blog if you want to read her story.  http://wendy.growingbolder.com/  If it wasn’t for her mentioning the program, I wouldn’t have known about it.

The Livestrong program lasted for 12 weeks and taught me that consistency is the key in lifestyle changes.  It was only a 2 day/week program and I wasn’t sure if it would really work.  But it did!  Now, I went from walking under 3 mph, huffing and puffing to 4 mph without shortness of breath.  My strength has increased threefold and my dress size is a perfect 8.  I feel stronger, have more energy and the class was fun.  We even had a Zumba lesson and a Yoga class.  We learned flexibility stretches and how to exercise properly.  Now I continue twice a week at the YMCA.  I want to thank Scott and Beth, our instructors, for making the classes both enjoyable and informative.  This program is open to all cancer survivors and is free.  It doesn’t matter if you are in remission, currently in treatment or just finishing your treatment.
