Mesothelioma Survivor Epifanio Figueroa Shares His Story

My name is Epifanio Figueroa. In my days when I was a young kid, they didn't tell us that asbestos was bad for you. I I knew it once I was sick. I think that's one of the things that have caused a lot of damage to people, Not knowing, not having that information because the people that actually manufacture all those things don't want us to know how dangerous it is. It started with my stomach growing, being getting bigger, and it didn't stop getting bigger. We went to Brigham Young. There, I got six chemotherapies. The tumors in my body were diminishing to the point that, the last time that I went, the doctor says we can't see almost anything there. And I feel great. I'm alive because of my wife. She was my mentor, my advisor. I owe her my life. That's that's what I can tell you. To all my buddies that have mesothelioma, once you get off the treatment, sweep that under the rug and keep on going forward.
