How Did You Raise Awareness About Mesothelioma?
Former mesothelioma caregiver Lorraine Kember explains the importance of raising awareness.
[MUSIC PLAYING] When Brian was diagnosed with mesothelioma, it was the first time I'd ever heard of the word. And I found that a lot of people, too, had not heard of the word. I made it my business, after Brian was diagnosed, to learn as much as I could about mesothelioma. And so I started telling people about it and particularly telling them about asbestos and how dangerous it is and to be mindful of what they're doing, not only for their own health and safety but for the people around them. So I do find that still a lot of people are ignorant of mesothelioma, ignorant of asbestos and the danger it poses. So I'm very proactive in making sure that everyone around me and everyone I'm in contact with knows about it. I'm quite passionate about it. [MUSIC PLAYING]
