Real Family. Helping others with Mesothelioma
Here is a lady who created a website about her family’s experience with mesothelioma.
A Webster woman whose husband died in 2006 at age 58 from mesothelioma has put together a Web site to help others cope with the rare cancer.
Patricia Gaglio’s husband, Mike Gaglio, was a sheet metal worker who was exposed to asbestos on construction projects; he also ran Mike Gaglio Photography in Webster.
Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles.
“Those of us that have had to deal with it know that time is of the essence,” says Patricia Gaglio. Her husband traveled to New York City for chemotherapy, surgery and radiation; others go to Boston.
At http://meso-westernny.com, Gaglio has compiled travel information, mesothelioma resources, books and legal resources, and created an online forum where people can post questions and get support.
