New support group for mesothelioma victims in Norwich

A support group for sufferers of the asbestos-related cancer, mesothelioma and their carers has been set up in Norfolk, and will hold its inaugural meeting next month.

The group has been set up as a joint venture between Gorleston's James Paget Hospital and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.

A spokeswoman for the NNUH said: "The NNUH and James Paget Hospital are setting up a support group for those who suffer from mesothelioma.

"This is the first time that such a support group will be available to both patients and relatives affected by this condition.
"There will be an inaugural meeting taking place on September 15, further details of which will be published in the local press in due course.

"In the meantime, if anyone has any queries regarding this group please contact Chris Fowkes, in respiratory medicine at the NNUH on 01603 289688."

The meeting will be held at the Brundall Memorial Hall from 2pm to 4pm on September 15, and is open to patients and carers from Norfolk and Waveney.
