Its been a busy week this week and Ray has not been well with this coughing virus. Cough cough cough day and night and it has really had me scared at times. I was hoping it wouldn’t change to pneumonia.
Tuesday we had to go to the House Of Commons for the asbestos sub-committee of the APPG on Occupational Health and Safety. It was in Portcullis House In the Boothroyd Room.
Ray was so ill and I said I would go on my own and he stayed in the warm but of course he wouldn’t allow that and he did look so ill.
It was a good meeting I attend under the hat of Mesothelioma Patient Rep and I do mange to put my points over and many points were raised by the rest of the members present.
It was great to hear that Helen Wilkes has been appointed as the first mesothelioma nurse specialist in the UK to focus on helping armed forces personnel and veterans affected by the cancer related to asbestos exposure. First mesothelioma nurse to focus on armed forces and military patients.
We came home and got in and 9pm a long day so Ray held up Ok.
Wednesday we travelled back to London for a meeting with The Moor Blatch team of the Foundation. We travelled to The Bank which is a huge underground station with many exits and of course we went the wrong way. We have never used the Northern Line to there before. Came out by the Monument and not Lombard Street. A nice young lady helped me to go the right way.
A good meeting took place and lots of ideas flying and problem solving. that was great.
Ray felt so much better so the sun was shinning and we were so relaxed.
Then today was making a film day.
Marcus Boocock was the camera man and interviewer and I kept messing it up. Why can I give a speech yet at home with a camera sat right in front me I get the giggles.
Marcus was very patient.
This was all because I have been asked to be at the Launch of IOSH’s No Time to Lose campaign. The next phase of the campaign will focus on raising awareness of asbestos. They wanted me to share my story though their campaign too?
So I will be included in http://www.notimetolose.org.uk/About-NTTL/Real-life-stories.aspx
I hope it all goes OK Marcus has a lot of editing to do
This was the Launch but I will be at the Asbestos Launch At The Paget Room BMA House Tavistock Square London WC1 on the 9th April 2018 and as it is a breakfast launch we will then get on a train at Euston for Manchester to a meeting at GMAVS for a presentation.
That’s going to be a long day but so full of interest.
Tomorrow we have a new Freezer coming so life gets back to normal although snow is forecast for the weekend so not happy about that.
