Mesothelioma is one of the deadliest forms of cancer today. I feel my site, http://www.mesotheliomaprognosis.org, can be an excellent resource for your visitors to identify the early signs and understand the severity of this disease.
Since asbestos was used more openly back in the day, exposure to the mineral is more common than one may think. Mesothelioma can take anywhere from 20 to 50 years to develop and is diagnosed in approximately 2,000 to 3,000 Americans every year. Luckily, Mesothelioma Prognosis offers detailed information regarding the symptoms, disease types, and methods of treatment.

Dear Fionn,
I am contacting you because I came across your site as I was doing research for asbestos exposure and diseases. At the end of my research I realized that www.maacenter.org was the best of all the sites I saw in my opinion.

A Rare Cancer
That Develops In The Lungs
- Asbestos -

Greetings,
My name is Nicholas Hare, and I am the Public Awareness Director for PleuralMesothelioma.com. While I was browsing through a number of health and mining sites, I came across your website and was very impressed by the information you have listed.

Pleural mesothelioma is the most common type of mesothelioma, a rare cancer that develops in the lungs. It is almost solely caused by exposure to asbestos, which was used in everything in children’s toys, house-hold insulation, and naval carriers. Our website has the most up to date and comprehensive information about Pleural Mesothelioma on the web today. With information ranging from a complete list of symptoms, to treatment options, and steps to take after a diagnosis.

I noticed that you already had some other mining related resources listed on your resources page at healeyhero.co.uk/rescue/links.htm and figured you might be interested in including a link to our site as well. Please let me know if you are interested - I'm available by e-mail. With your help, we can educate the public about the dangers of asbestos and hopefully save some lives.

Thanks again!

Best Regards,

Nicholas Hare

Hi Fionn Taylor-

My name is Roberta J. Walters and I am a cancer information coordinator for Mesothelioma Web. I recently came across the 'In Memory of Philip Healey' website and wanted to thank you for making this information available. I thought you might be interested in providing additional information to your site visitors.

Our site, Mesothelioma Web, has been one of the most comprehensive sites on asbestos and mesothelioma for over ten years, providing information and support to those who have been exposed to asbestos. Mesothelioma Web has achieved HON (Health On the Net) code approval; HON is a non-profit organization whose mission is to guide people to accurate medical information and expertise online and thereby to contribute to improved health care through patient empowerment and better informed health professionals.

The Resources page looks like the most effective place to put a link for those who have been affected by asbestos disease. The most informative page to link to would be the page answering many of the standard questions on mesothelioma:- if you would like, I can also write up some specific content for your site that might more clearly point to other content we offer on the topic; just let me know and I will get that done. I can be reached at robertaw@mesojournal.com.

Thanks again for helping those who need medical information. Please let me know of any way I can assist.
