When a Stroke Strikes – BE FAST Expand Content Not sure whether a person's symptoms are a stroke? B.E.F.A.S.T. and quickly check for any of these signs of stroke: B = Balance – Is the person suddenly having trouble with balance or coordination? E = Eyes – Is the person experiencing blurred or double vision or a sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes? F = Face Drooping – Does one side of the face droop or is it numb?  A = Arm Weakness – Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

Bladder Cancer Expand Content Overview Most individuals with bladder cancer have superficial and non-invasive tumors. Treatment for these tumors is often very effective with an excellent prognosis. The remainder of bladder cancers invade deep into the bladder wall and muscle and the risk is greater for the cancer to spread to other areas of the body. Depending on the type of bladder cancer, treatment may include a cystectomy, or bladder removal, through robotic assisted surgery.
