“I distinctly remember it was the middle of the night. I couldn’t sleep, so I got up and went online and googled “mesothelioma.” It was not long after my diagnosis. I read some of Mesothelioma.com and filled out the form.
The next morning at about 10 am, Jennifer called me. For the first time, I felt like I was talking to someone who understood my concerns, my fear and what I was up against. She assured me that Dr. Sugarbaker was the absolute BEST choice for me, and she promised she would do everything she could for me. It was the start of a great relationship.”
– Heather Von St. James
