July 2nd 2010 is MESOTHELIOMA DAY,its aday to remember those who nolonger with us,and for those people and familes who sadley fighting this awful killer.I am doing a radio interview on friday,for which I am going to try and tell my husband (DAVID) story,in the hope it will bring to light of what they go through and the familys of those who suffered.

It is almost 8 weeks since my husband David passed away with Mesothelioma,he was only 59 yrs old.He was ill for only 6months.He never had chemo (dont know why).I nursed him to the very end,and I am so glad I done that. I must say that his GP and Hospice Nurse,and the local nurses where really great,they all offered great and much needed support to me and David.But nothing can perpare you for the end,but you cope .
