Mesothelioma is a nasty cancer

Heather contacted me and let me know that September 26th is Mesothelioma awareness day.  She asked if I might be able to spread the news.  Being a lucky cancer survivor myself I jumped on board.  My father died of lung cancer three years ago.  It was extremely painful for him.  I have to admit that I don't know that much about the mesothelioma but I have started to read more about it as I am sure that you all will to after this awareness day.
