My father worked in this field for part of his working life. In 1973 I moved home to Majorca, Spain and have lived here until present date. July 1996 I was diagnosed wtih Mesotelioma Peritoneal stage IV. and operated removing womb, ovaries etc. (hystorectomia), metastisis was also found in surrounding areas. No other treatment was carried out. I then went for some time for second opinion to the Beatson Oncology Clinic in Glasgow for check-ups where nodules continued but seemed to be dormant. I continue with yearly check-ups at my hospital here in Palma where I have been told that there has been no increase in size of nodules. The only prevention which I was given at the Beatson centre was Tamoxifen which I continue to take daily. I have lived a normal life since then. Having read a little on this subject I consider myself very fortunate and feel I should share this and perhaps give hope to others with this illness. Sirs,
I was born in Glasgow 1949 and in my early years lived near dock area. My father worked in this field for part of his working life.
In 1973 I moved home to Majorca, Spain and have lived here until present date.
July 1996 I was diagnosed wtih Mesotelioma Peritoneal stage IV. and operated removing womb, ovaries etc.
(hystorectomia), metastisis was also found in surrounding areas. No other treatment was carried out.
I then went for some time for second opinion to the Beatson Oncology Clinic in Glasgow for check-ups where nodules continued but seemed to be dormant.
I continue with yearly check-ups at my hospital here in Palma where I have been told that there has been no
increase in size of nodules.
The only prevention which I was given at the Beatson centre was Tamoxifen which I continue to take daily.
I have lived a normal life since then.
Having read a little on this subject I consider myself very fortunate and feel I should share this and perhaps give hope to others with this illness.
