The Journey Part 2.
Although Mavis had been in treatment she had not sat idle.
She decided early on that something needed to be done.
And so she began to set about searching for answers.
She found a small group of like minded victims on social
media and joined them. It was headed by Debbie Brewer.
She and Mavis became good friends but sadly Debbie
succumbed to this insidious disease leaving Mavis to
carry the flag. She set to with a vigour that was
unstoppable. She expanded these small groups humble
beginnings and created various groups on social media
and the mesowarriors as they had become known as
became a global presence for information and help and
advice. Today her work is internationally recognised.
She is available on a personal level to support and
encourage victims of mesothelioma.
She has the support of manny influential people
sympathetic to here cause.
She is constant demand to give presentations to spread
the word and share her story.
She talks with Lords,Ladies,Professors,Oncologists and
Doctors,And MP`s. She has been welcomed in the
Asbestos industry.
She speaks regularly in the House of Commons in the
company of distinguished speakers.
She was awarded a BCA for her work. She is a patient
rep and sits on various committees and support groups.
Her energy and enthusiasm has no boundaries.
The following year, from the last result that she has no
hope of treatment, was spent on these campaigns, during
which she was advised by Professor Dean Fennell that a
small drugs trial was about to start in the Royal Marsden,
that was for mesothelioma.
The weeks that followed were productive in that she was
referred for interview for assessment. Some weeks later
she received news that she had been accepted on a trial
of just 3 people.
Of those 3 she remained the only survivor.
