Will Power Conquers Mesothelioma

1. It is amazing to note that asbestos disease, mesothelioma, which is classified as death sentence and generally kills its victims in an year has been conquered by will power and the classic case is in form of an Adelaide mother who has baffled the medical authorities by surviving the deadly asbestos-related disease mesothelioma and is also having a child 10 years after her diagnosis.

2. 39-year-old Belinda Dunn took part in a gene therapy trial soon after she received the news she had mesothelioma. Her only contact with deadly asbestos dust was as a small child when she played on a pile of fibers while her parents were extending their house.The 39-year-old Adelaide mother of one was diagnosed with mesothelioma soon after the birth of her first child, Nathan, 10 years ago, and was told that she had little chance of living beyond a year.

3. Medical authorities are baffled as even after a decade she has survived the disease, and is also again pregnant.
