Heather Von St James is a mesothelioma survivor (one of the 2%) and a guest blogger for the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance .  When Heather’s daughter Lily was just 3 1/2 months old, she was diagnosed with Mesothelioma Cancer.  As any mother would, Heather knew she needed to fight to be able to watch her daughter grow up.  She did everything it took, including missing the whole sixth month of Lily’s life while undergoing treatment in Boston.

The Reason Heather blogs about her experience is to help other mothers, or anyone who may be going through a similar situation. She wants her blog to be a means of inspiration and hope for those who need it.  Check out her blog at the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance Blog.
