Most people have heard of mesothelioma from a commercial or two during daytime television, but for many that is the extent of awareness. What people don’t understand is that this disease is so much more than just a commercial. It is painful, devastating, and it affects real people. Good people who had no idea that simply taking a breath at work, in school or even at home could one day give them cancer.
ABOUT HEATHER VON ST. JAMES
In 2005, at the age of 36, and only three months after giving birth to my beautiful daughter Lily Rose, I was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma. Upon learning of this life-altering diagnosis, my husband Cameron and I embarked upon a search to find the best mesothelioma treatment care available. Our search eventually led us to Dr. David Sugarbaker, a renowned mesothelioma surgeon at the Boston based Brigham and Women’s hospital.
Today, I am a seven-year mesothelioma cancer survivor and have made it my mission to help other mesothelioma victims around the globe. I share my personal story to help spread hope and awareness for others going through this, in hopes that one day no one else will have to.
