A Diary Of A #Mesowarrior Living With #Mesothelioma #Asbestos —-Mesothelioma Ladies Lunch

Friday 6th March we travelled to Manchester to the Macdonalds Hotel for Mesothelioma UK Ladies day

We had to go very early from Whitstable which meant we had to travel on the rush hour tube to Euston –not funny.

As the train pulls in all you can see is a cattle truck. people were so packed in, so Ray and I had to squeeze in to a tiny space. Ray said dont cough they will chuck you off .

So we clung on and was so pleased to arrive safely.

Soon on the Manchester train and we made the Hotel in time for 12.30 start.

It was lovely to see so many friends and new faces as we went into lunch.

A lovely meal and the speaker spoke to us between each coarse.

We were given the GEM study results by Stephanie who had my quote from my interview with her as she loved what I had said about taking my nets down to put blinds up as “Men do not wash net curtains ” which is what I did when told I had 3 months to live and didnt want Ray to have all the worry. That was 11 years ago now.

Tracey Wood spoke about her mothers story in South Africa and the work Her Foundation The Glynnis Gale is doing to help the Mesothelioma Patients that were very involved in the Asbestos mines. Tracey showed us a Video that her Foundation has put together and I will share as soon as they put it on their web site.

Thanks for all the hard work Lorraine Creech and team it was a great Ladies Lunch again xx
