Did you know there are different types of mesothelioma, such as pleural & peritoneal? Peritoneal mesothelioma is a much rarer form.

So lovely to represent @Mesouk at the Peritoneal Malignancy Institute’s Patient and Carer Day in Basingstoke yesterday. A busy day meeting lots of lovely people at the mesothelioma stand as well as telling my story & listening to some interesting presentations on latest research

Pleased to say my annual scan has shown my two small areas of recurrence are stable and not growing so my next scan will be in two years. Scanxiety always looms large before a scan so it’s good to be able to breath again! #mesothelioma

Recently, we were celebrating International Women’s Day and raising awareness of mesothelioma at our Ladies Lunch. It was a great opportunity for women affected by peritoneal mesothelioma to come together. All were inspired to share their personal stories and support each other.

Have a listen to the 'Killer Dust' series on @BBCRadio4 ...
'This is the story of Killer Dust, from mountains of the material in mines still operating in countries today, to the skyscrapers of Manhattan, and the terraced streets of the north of England.'

Last year, our nurses attended 269 support groups – a safe space where mesothelioma patients and their families can ask clinical questions, share experiences, stories (and a laugh) with a group of people who know exactly how each other feels.

If you care about local radio, this is a very depressing post from @DavidLloydRADIO
27 Dec 2024
The BBC's own Executive Complaints Unit has just admitted a 'systemic failure' at BBC local radio. It is refreshing to see the BBC concede one example of the damage being wreaked.

A diagnosis of mesothelioma is devastating news for a patient and their family to receive. Mesothelioma UK recognises the impact that such diagnoses can have and recently spoke to a patient, in her sixties and now retired, about her experience.
