There Is Mesothelioma and UN members

A group of several United Nations members are putting their efforts to add chrysotile variety of asbestos to the world’s list of most hazardous substances. Canadian asbestos industry is the biggest loser if at all this happens. The Canadian asbestos industry supports several hundred workers.

Most of the asbestos from this industry is exported to the developing nations around the world where there are no proper regulations around handling on asbestos. Many are concerned that lack of regulations and inexperience in handling the asbestos material may expose many people to mesothelioma cancer in those nations.

Mesothelioma cancer is caused as a result of asbestos exposure. Asbestos exposure also causes lung cancer and asbestosis. The symptoms of this cancer are very subtle and cannot be diagnosed until the disease is severe. It takes years for this cancer to develop in a person exposed to asbestos and is not something that is imminent.
Many lawsuits have been filed around the world and especially in US there are hundreds of cases where the employers where sued for not informing the employees about the risks of asbestos exposure.

Thank you Pamela x

My lovely gift from Pamela.

I had a card left by the postie on Saturday, even though I was indoors, which said I needed to pick up a parcel he tried to deliver.

I got it and opened it, how choked was I to find a lovely gift from a lady in America. Pamela lost her mother, Becky, last year. She adored her mother so much. She sent me a lovely butterfly and a card with a beautiful dragonfly necklace.

Such a lovely thing to do, thank you so much Pamela x x x

I got home to find another card left by the postie so it is back again tomorrow to pick up Siobhan's parcel.

I dragged myself into the 21st century today, I got myself an iPad!

I am clueless with technology, thank goodness for Siobhan, she helps me so much with it all and is very patient with me.

I also got myself a dictaphone so I can start writing my book. This one has a program on a disc that will type it too....wow!!! I shall see how I go, I am looking forward to starting the first chapter : )

Love to my friend, Mavis, who is feeling very under the weather at the moment. Get well soon Mavis x x

Still no snow in Plymouth, it is cold and dry, I don't mind the snow, just not too keen on the ice. If it does happen, we have enough in the cupboards to keep us going for a few days.

Disappointment today.

A feather appeared on my lapel on the way to get flowers for Ronny and Keith x

Flowers in memory of Ronny and Keith x
The meso tree and the snow drops x

I was all geared up to see Kieran in his school play today. He was acting in the elves and the shoe maker workshop with the help of Plymouth Theatre Royal.

I got to school, signed in and was looking forward to seeing him when I was handed a program. I looked all over it, my Bean's name was not on it. I asked a teacher who went to find out why and she returned telling me that Kieran was not in it. I felt so sad inside. It turns out that the class didn't send him to his drama classes as they receive an email detailing when he would need to be free.

Kieran took it very well, he was disappointed but as the teacher said, it would be unfair to throw him in the deep end and embarrass him. I really look forward to the things he does at school. They are even more special now so missing this one was not a happy occasion.

After I left school I went onto Saltram as a friend had sent a lovely picture of snowdrops. I got there to find the meso tree had snowdrops at the base. I left some flowers there in memory of Ronny, my lovely friend who fell asleep in October and for Keith who fell asleep recently. Both are very brave warriors who I admire every day.

Kieran is with his dad over the weekend and is now on half term from school. I am looking forward to our trip to London next week, I am taking him on the London eye. It is going to be a very special trip : )

Busy week this week.

I have been playing about with an app I found on facebook. My grumpy fairy friend made one and I like it so much I thought I would make my own........ Take that Mesothelioma!!!!!!

The weekend has been very quiet. Kieran went to his dads Friday and came back on Sunday. I relaxed at home, not getting dressed till 11am....disgraceful : )

This week has a pretty full calendar, Tuedsay I am off to Tavistock with my friend Tina. She is about to become a grandma for the first time, how exciting!!

Wednesday is result day...gulp...... Not one of my favourites, I get the result of my CT scan and will discuss my treatment options. I am hoping I will escape the CT blues but I doubt I will.

Thursday Kieran and I are off to london. I am taking him on the London eye on Friday, something he said he would love to do so we are doing it!

Back home on Saturday and then Kieran back to school next week.

Should be a photo filled blog over the next few days : )
