Mesothelioma UK

After losing her mum to mesothelioma, an asbestos-related cancer, Carolyn Quinn became an Ambassador for Mesothelioma UK. The charity provides specialist nurses, support and information to improve lives for people affected by the disease.

The right support makes all the difference

The right support makes all the difference
Many people have never heard of mesothelioma and specialist support isn't always easy to find. When diagnosed, Martin believed he had one treatment option until he contacted Mesothelioma UK, where specialist nurse Lisa told him about clinical trials.

Asbestos still claims lives

Asbestos still claims lives
Each year, around 2,700 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma: like Martin, all needing specialist support to live better and longer with their families. Asbestos remains in many public buildings and homes in the UK, still posing a danger to health.

Every patient deserves a specialist nurse
