'I have to get this down on paper ... it will be too bloody scary later on.' (letter written by mesothelioma patient)
Article Abstract:
The experiences of a 56-year-old woman suffering from mesothelioma are described in letter form. She found it extremely hard to accept her diagnosis, but felt that she had to let her children and parents know that she will not have much longer to live. She feels very bitter that she was not informed about the dangers of working with blue asbestos. However, she is determined to face up to her gruelling treatment, even if this means that she loses some friends.
