What kind of cancer did Patti Hansen have?
Patti Hansen was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, after a routine mammogram found a small tumor. She was treated with a lumpectomy.
And five years later in 2010, she opened up about her struggles with bladder cancer. Bladder cancer is a common type of cancer, which develops in the urinary bladder. This causes back pain, painful urination, frequent urination, and blood in the urine. It is treatable.
This time, Patti had to undergo 3 months of chemotherapy, followed by surgery to remove cancer. During this procedure, her bladder was removed, along with her appendix and a full hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and cervix). A new bladder called a “neobladder” was created from a piece of the small intestine. Two years later, Hansen is cancer-free and has become a handbag designer for Hung On U.
