facebook logo 100x100 Facebook spreading mesothelioma awarenessIf you are a fan of the social networking site Facebook, I hope that you are linked into the many survivors, supporters, groups and victims that are posting regularly there. If you don’t already have a Facebook page, setting one up is easy. Just go to www.facebook.com and the easy instructions on the home page will walk you through the steps. There are lots of new and improved privacy controls that you can set so that you don’t have to share more information than you want to. The nice thing about Facebook is that you accept and approve “friends” who can see your information.

MyMeso has a Facebook page, and I invite you to join us. You can visit our page here: http://tinyurl.com/ydl5xhd

Our good friend in the UK is online on Facebook. Just search for her name and you’ll come to her profile. She recently has started a Facebook fan page for Dr. Thomas Vogl, the groundbreaking researcher who is pioneering chemoembolization as a treatment for . Those familiar with Debbie’s story know that she has had great success with chemoembolization under Dr. Vogl’s care. You can visit his page here:  http://tinyurl.com/yeq5969

There also is a group set up to honor Debbie herself! You can find it by clicking this link: http://tinyurl.com/ychey9g

There is a special event planned for this Friday, Jan. 15, to celebrate Debbie, as well. “Raise a Glass to Debbie” asks everyone to raise a toast in honor of Debbie’s work as an activist for awareness and the fight for a cure. The event will occur between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. and it doesn’t matter where in the world you are – the UK, the U.S., Australia, or any point on the globe – just join in!

There are so many wonderful support groups on Facebook. Two of these that my regular readers know I talk about a lot are the (ADAO) (find them here: http://tinyurl.com/ybhmn9j) and the (http://tinyurl.com/ybv2uut).

    Thank you Wendi for sharing your passion. My dad just recently passed away from asbestos mesothelioma. So very sad. A WWII Army-Air Force Veteran, worked all of his life until retiring at 74. He was 87 when he passed away. As I’ve come to know, he worked in all of the wrong places. He was a carpenter and millwright and unknowingly was highly exposed to this deadly fiber. After 3 years of going from doctor to doctor, he was finally diagnosed on August 25, 2009 and sadly passed away 4 months later.
    My brother passed away 5 months earlier and was very hard on my dad and myself. This is all I had.
    I read in your messages that you had mesothelioma bracelets. If you could please send me the address or website as to where I can get it.
    God Bless,
    Cheryl Palmer

    Facebook is a good medium for a lot of groups, but sometimes it is better just to go straight to a doctor’s site or a lawyer’s site for information that is not pretending to be anything other than what it is:

    The more people are aware of asbestos the less chance there is that people will incorrectly handle the material. This is a good cause, thanks for sharing!

    Some events and programs that have been established to increase pleural mesothelioma awareness and the search for a cure are Mesothelioma Awareness Day, International Mesothelioma Program, and International Symposium on Malignant Mesothelioma.
