Bladder Cancer: Diagnosis Doesn't Mean Death

 

The American Cancer Society projects that in 2013, nearly 73,000 new bladder cancer diagnoses occur. Most of the cases--nearly 55,000 will occur in men--about 18,000 in women. New diagnoses rates have stabilized in the last few years and have even dropped slightly in women. A bladder cancer diagnosis isn't an automatic death sentence. There are over a half a million bladder cancer survivors in America today.

Surviving Bladder Cancer

A common question most patients ask after a diagnosis relates to survival rates. Like many other cancers, bladder cancer survival rates correlate to the stage of cancer present. While statistics represent a massive amount of patients studied over several years, each person's situation is different and many factors contribute to a person's survival.

The most recent study, according to the American Cancer Society, yields positive survival rates for patients diagnosed with stage zero (98%) or stage one (88%) bladder cancer. As expected, survival rates tend to decline depending on the advanced stage of diagnosed cancer. The rates are:

CBN: CAN WE NOW DEPOSIT NAIRA EQUIVALENT INTO OUR DOMICILIARY ACCOUNT?

 

I just received a text today from my bank that CBN has mandated that all foreign transfers e.g. western union, money gram etc should be paid in Naira equivalent to the receivers here in Nigeria , which means that we will no longer be paid in foreign currencies.

I have no problem with CBN asking banks to pay in Naira, my problem or rather question is, if the CBN want us to be paid in Naira instead of the foreign currency sent, should we also start depositing Naira equivalent into our domiciliary accounts instead of going to source for foreign currency from road side sellers (black market) and then taking it to the bank. I think it should work both ways.
