Barbican Centre, Silk Street, City of London: perspective section, 1970 https://www.barbican.org.uk/
I have never taken much notice of the Barbican centre before. I don’t really know why. Maybe because I think of the Westend when it comes to live theatre.
We were so surprised yesterday coming out of the Under Ground to walk over a foot bridge as we followed the signs. It is a massive area.
The complex was designed by architects Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, whose first work was the ground-breaking Golden Lane Estate immediately north of the Barbican. The estate of 40 acres (16 ha) was officially opened in 1969 and is now home to around 4,000 people living in 2,014 flats.
It even has a Secondary School but funny no shops ??
We got lost and asked different people how to get into the building. Finally we found a door open the started a long walk and lifts.
We finally found the The Frobisher Auditorium.
We were here for The 12 Kings Bench Walk Asbestos Seminar 2018. the second year and last year was brilliant so we were looking forward to it.
Harry Steinberg and 12 KBW have put all the proceeds to my Charity this year so the funds have been boosted by £3000 aprox. I’m so grateful to their kindness
We all settled in after meeting up in the Conservatory. I wish mine was like this one 
Anyway I must concentrate on writing this blog.
Gemma Scot gave us an Update on Bussy
Michael Rawlinson QC Implications for asbestos ligation and low-level exposure.
Aliyah Akram Gave a speech about Women and asbestos and she had a picture of me in that. WOW!!
Then Me speaking to give an update of The Mavis Nye Foundation.
There was a great Panel discussion chaired by Harry with Kate Boakes James Beeton David Green and Gemma Scot.
Patrick Kerr spoke about Limitation issues for asbestos lawyers.
Steven Snowden QC Lost years claims.
Michael Brace Recent quantum cases
Niall Maclean Immunotherapy and ethics.
Then Lorraine Creech gave a talk about a clinical perspective.
Closing Questions Liz Darlinson Bought up a point that Mesowarriors should contact mesothelioma Uk regarding the fact we should get away from the term Immunotherapy it gives people force hope. and so just talk about trials as there are many small ones. I have always said talk to the Royal Marsden as they have trials for 3 or 4 patients.
But as a patient false hope is better than no hope. We take the risk we know how dangerous these treatments are but we realise that it all goes to helping our scientists find a drug that will end this misery of this disease. I was happy to turn my body over to the NHS and the fact it worked for me was wonderful but it was all at a cost. My body is wrecked. Neuropathy that only tight socks can stop legs and ankles from swelling, hands that are clawed a kidney that isnt working at full speed, and one very damaged bad lung and other things that I dont know about maybe. I’m Alive and I’m living a life. My charity is my world now. I’m finding wonderful people that are supporting me thank you all so much xx
My original bi-op has been found, tracked down my Bi-op down after 9 years. which means its pre chemo and treatment — so now we can find out why me, It’s being sent to Prof Nicholson . I look forward to the results of his analysis.
So the great seminar came to an end and we all made our way to the room overlooking the conservatory for a much-needed glass of wine.
Everyone gradually went off home leaving the few that were going to the pub for something to eat.
It was a very happy bunch as we relaxed and great to see Harry “like the cat with cream”
