I hope it's OK to mention this book here. Although I'm not the author, I'm the editor and publisher, and we've produced a fascinating, funny, sad and inspiring book.
MESO WARRIOR - MAVIS NYE
Raymond Nye used to work in shipyards, refurbishing and repairing warships. Mavis Nye used to wash his clothes, and shake out the dust that seemed to cover them. That dust was asbestos, and now, decades later, she has contracted a particularly nasty form of terminal cancer from it called Mesothelioma.
Her original prognosis was 3 months to 2 years, at best. Despite this devastating news, Mavis, with the support of her husband Ray, decided that she wouldn't give in to this “nasty”, as she calls it. She would
fight it every step of the way.
As she and Ray fought the disease, endured the hospital visits and treatments, she collected a growing army of supporters. She joined forums and social networking sites, gathering people around her who had been touched in some way through this terrible
disease.
In this captivating, funny and emotional book, she recounts, in her own words, her day-to-day dealings with the disease, and with life. She refuses to let it beat her without a fight, and she and her “Meso Warriors” continue
to generate publicity about the disease, its causes, and its treatments.
Her fight continues.
