BBC and One year on

On 13th November 2006 I was given the confirmation I didn’t want to hear, That I had Mesothelioma.
I had my 2 older children with me when I was told. My sister, Wendy came with me as did my good friend, Helen. They ave never left my side and are always avilable if I need them.

The BBC have been around to film this morning as I have made the news that I got my claim through official.
Hopefully all this publicity will focus on the wrong doings of this country and change minds about Mesothelioma and Plueral plaque payments.
I am lucky as I have no pain with my illness. I am relativly healthy apart from the odd breathless episode.
I have my family who keep me busy and I do try and keep things as normal as possible and to be honest, as I have said before, I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR CANCER.
I want to start again when the money comes through and enjoy what is left of my life with those who care about me. I can’t jump for joy with this payment as it is not a lottery win. It is what I would have earned if I had lived a natural life. I have always tried to keep myself fit, never smoked, vegetarian but my downfall has always been chocolate. I have now stayed off chocolate and beer for 2 weeks. I am a chocohalic and like the occasional drink and even I have impressed myself! Well done me : )
