Asbestos Killed My HusbandWritten by Lorraine Kember
Continued from page 1
Throughout course of our married life my deep love for Brian and my determination to resolve difficulties had seen us through many trials. I found it hard to believe that nothing could be done to save his life and begun surfing Internet for information regarding mesothelioma, all time praying for a miracle, hoping against hope to find a doctor who had successfully operated on or cured someone of it. It was a sad realization to discover that for Brian there were no miracles; however, I learned a lot and it helped me to accept that he was dying. With my acceptance came a fierce determination to ease his burden. I continued to seek information regarding mesothelioma and pain and symptoms Brian would experience, due to progression of his disease. In this way, I came to understand importance of pain management and symptom control and realized that although I could not stop Brian from dying – I could help him to live. My acquired knowledge regarding pain and symptom management enabled me to communicate with Brian and to understand type of pain he was experiencing and intensity of that pain. I was then able to work hand in hand with his doctors, to bring his pain and symptoms under control. As my efforts resulted in his improved quality of life, I lost my sense of helplessness and gained strength. Together, we achieved for Brian, a quality of life few thought possible, considering nature of his disease. Testament to this, Brian survived for 2 years despite his prognosis of 3 to 9 months. Remained active and alert, drove his car for eighteen months after diagnosis and was not bed bound until three short days prior to his death. Brian's courageous battle with mesothelioma came to an end on 24th December 2001; he passed away at home surrounded by his loved ones. He was 54 years old.
