Welcome to Mesothelioma and Me
My name is Debbie and I was diagnosed with mesothelioma in November 2006. At that time, myself and my family were given all kinds of information about what mesothelioma was but what we really wanted was to talk to someone else who knew how we were feeling.
This website was made for anyone who is affected by mesothelioma - whether they are patients, carers, family or friends - to share their stories and find support.
