Getting the Mesothelioma Diagnosis | Heather Von St. James
First hearing you have cancer can be a shock. Learning you have a rare and deadly cancer like mesothelioma can only make the situation seem even more unreal. Mesothelioma survivor Heather Von St. James remembers when she found out. She shares her reaction and the motivation that helped her cope with her diagnosis.
Diagnosed at 36, Heather was just starting a family when she found out she had pleural mesothelioma.

Today, she is a tireless advocate for others with mesothelioma.
