After a recent airport security pat down left a bladder cancer survivor covered in his own urine, a cancer support group is making recommendations to travelers to stay away from future problems.
Retired unique education teacher and bladder cancer survivor Thomas Sawyer, 61, told msnbc.com that an aggressive pat-down by TSA officers at Detroit Metropolitan Airport left him covered in his own urine and humiliated. “Completely humiliated, I couldn’t even speak,” Sawyer said after the Nov. 7th incident whilst he was on his way to a wedding in Florida.
Like several bladder cancer survivors, Sawyer wears a urostomy bag which collects his urine from an opening in his abdomen referred to as a “stoma.”
