Also there was the specialist nurse, Kate, who I met when I was diagnosed. Kate said that she had money from the McMillan services to which she would like to use to set up a support group for meso patients and their families. She talked to all of us about it and we all agreed, it was a great idea.
So, on the 13th October our support group will be launched in the mustard tree at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth. Kate said that between 35 and 40 people are diagnosed with Mesothelioma every year and this support group has a much needed place in our area.
Thoughts are with a facebook warrior friend today as she waits with her husband by his hospital bed for the imminent to happen. Such a sad day for her and her family. Thoughts and love are sent to them.
