What Advice Would You Give to Someone Who Has a Loved One Diagnosed with Mesothelioma?

I would say to anybody that has a family member or a friend that's been diagnosed with mesothelioma to just be there for that person and figure out a way you can help support them. Support does come in many different forms and different manners. I think that emotional support, first and foremost, is huge just being there for them just listening to them, just letting them, you know, lean on you to tell you whatever it is they're feeling. Because they're probably gonna have some really big feelings about what's going on. Support can also be showing up with meals, you know, helping with errands, going over and, you know. Perhaps offering to clean the house, just sit and have a cup of tea. Kim loves, to drink tea. Just being there for her, just really showing up however you can. Ask them, you know, "what can I do to help you?" I think one of the things I discovered is that I kinda had a catchphrase with Kim. So quite often through this whole entire journey from start to finish or to where we are here today. One thing I would do is call her on the phone and say, what do you need from me? Basically, what can I do to help you? Is it making calls? Is it, you know, scheduling something? Whatever it is, I would say that's the best way to support your friend or family member with this diagnosis.
