A Florida doctor who beat cancer hopes to guide people through the challenging process of receiving a diagnosis that could change their lives, as there will likely be more than two million new instances of the disease in 2024.
Dr. Chris Scuderi, a Jacksonville physician with Millennium Physician Group, received a bladder cancer diagnosis in November 2020, after a difficult year marked by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Scuderi said, “I was in my mid-40s, had no family history, worked out almost every day, and overall ate a very healthy diet, so my diagnosis came as a great surprise.”

Scuderi did not exhibit any of the risk factors or common symptoms that are typically linked to bladder cancer.
He said, “I thought I had food poisoning.”
A week following the diagnosis, he had surgery, and he then finished a year of chemotherapy designed especially for bladder cancer.
Scuderi is cancer-free and in good health now. He’s changed his diet and fitness routine, and he now emphasizes consuming a higher percentage of plant-based foods.

“Stress, overwork and irregular sleep were areas of my life I had to address as a physician, husband and father,” he stated.
“Over the past two years, I have been using a fitness tracker to closely monitor my sleep, stress levels and recovery each day, and use this objective data to prioritize my rest.”
