Mesothelioma Research

Fiona Cooper lost her father to Mesothelioma in 2003 and has a personal interest in the subject.
Earlier this year the Department of Health issued a framework on mesothelioma.
Historically rare, incidence of mesothelioma is rising. Within the framework there is a recommendation for improving the standard of information given to mesothelioma patients and their families. She approached Plymouth University and ask them to support this research project - to identify and meet the information needs of carers of people with mesothelioma.

This is a 3 year project and she is starting by gathering the thoughts of carers and sufferers across the country.

1. what information they need or needed to help those with mesothelioma.

2. What would help the carers deal with the effects on themselves.

She would welcome contact from anyone who feels they can contribute to this project. Please send an email and be as brief or as detailed as you like.

Fiona’s email is : fiona.cooper1@pms.ac.uk

Thank you in an anticipation of your support.
