How has asbestos changed your life?
Being diagnosed at the age of 19 with Plural Mesothelioma has changed my life more than words can say… I’m a young mother and wife, and all I can think about is living for my family. We are still searching of how I came up with this horrible disease. We have some ideas… When I was a small child I would play in a old box car, My dad worked in construction, Some ASID schools may have contained Asbestos. The scary thing you never know what places may contain the devil. I will not let Mesothelioma control my life, I have very high hope and faith. I feel great. I fight for my family and will win this fight.
