Jan's Journey   ........  My life battling Mesothelioma

 

Mesothelioma is a Silent Killer - No symptoms are obvious to the disease in early stages - No easy test to discover diagnosis -  Death rate is extremely high

We have No Cure, We have few Choices and above all We have a Low Life Expectancy but we can Buy Time

This site has been created to help anyone suffering from Mesothelioma, a cancer caused by Asbestos.  Mesothelioma mainly resides in the Chest Cavity crushing the lung, attacking the heart sac, diaphragm and eventually killing you. 

I hope the web site will help you to find your pathway through treatments and with the help of other sufferer's experiences may help you find the strength and courage to take up Arms against Mesothelioma. 

You will find my story, information on treatments, your stories and any news referring to Mesothelioma on this website, together with links to sites that may help you.

This site is dedicated to all the people I have met during my continuous battle with mesothelioma. 

To the work of Doctor's, Professors and Surgeons who along with us, the patients,  are battling not only mesothelioma but the politics of it all.

Lets keep planting those flowers - as I'm not ready to push up the Daisies yet.
