(づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ July Bladder Cancer Awareness Month

---

---

This month's series is based on Bladder Cancer Awareness Month. The cancer awareness ribbon is Marigold/Blue/Purple coloured. So all the pokemon in this series will be based around those colours!

Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men, however women can also be diagnosed. Overall, the chance men will develop this cancer during their life is about 1 in 26 and For women, the chance is about 1 in 90. In 2015, it is estimated that 74,000 new cases will be diagnosed

Possible risk factors include smoking and exposure to chemicals used in certain workplaces and The most common symptom of bladder cancer is blood in the urine. There are various screening processes in place to determine whether someone has bladder cancer, such as urine tests or blood tests.

Bladder cancer can be effectively treated if it is found before it spreads to somewhere else in the body. The sooner the cancer is found, the better the prognosis. Treatment can include surgery, immunotherapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

###The pokemon I giveaway will be based around Smogon sets, however some pokemon do not have a set available. In these cases, I will give them an item that is voted for in the following polls:

• Select as many items as you would like. Items such as leftovers and life orbs are not included in the polls, as they will be available at some point during the month already
• Various items
• Evolution items
