Bladder Cancer Community Advocate Brittney Tellekamp Brittney Tellekamp is a wife, corgi mom and project manager for Georgia State Parks. She was diagnosed July 25, 2019 with Stage IV Metastatic Bladder Cancer at the age of 28. A week later Brittney underwent a radical cystectomy, full hysterectomy, lymphadenectomy, and received an ileal conduit (stoma!). It was a devastating diagnosis and surgery, but Brittney chooses to go by the quote “live in your vision, not your circumstance” (Dr. Kevin Elko).
