How Did Asbestos.com Support Mesothelioma Survivor Kim Madril and Her Friend After Her Mesothelioma Diagnosis?
Missy Miller, Medical Outreach Director at Asbestos.com, explains how she helped Jeanette Mednicoff, a mesothelioma caregiver, and Kim Madril, a mesothelioma patient get the help they needed.
Kim and her best friend Jeanette had gone to a specialist in Austin. That specialist had provided them my contact information to reach out for some financial help and some different resources that we offer at asbestos dot com. Jeanette her best friend actually reached out to me because she was trying to take some of the burden off of Kim, so that way Kim could focus on her cancer diagnosis. Jeanette and I were able to formulate a plan for Kim, and we were able to figure out that we needed to get her new insurance. So then that way, she could get the treatment that she wanted because she was a surgical candidate from one of the mesothelioma specialists. By dealing with Jeanette, we were able to actually take a lot of burden off Kim because she was a full time working nurse. She had two kids at home. She had a husband. She was completely overwhelmed with this whole cancer diagnosis. So me and Janette worked very closely together to come up with a proper plan for Kim. After we came up and established the plan, we then shared it with Kim, and then Jeanette actually put me in contact with Kim, and we were able to help her with her insurance needs. And then we were able to get her the to the assistance that she needed.
