East Alton, IL, Feb 23, 2009 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Nineteen new videos have been added to the Mesothelioma Video Library, a free Internet resourcestarted in 2008 by the SimmonsCooper law firm. The newest videos consist of stories told by a St.-Louis-area resident who was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma after being exposed to asbestos as a child by her father and later by her ex-husband. Her videos join the ranks of five other mesothelioma patients (http://www.mesovideolibrary.com/testimonial-mesothelioma-videos.php) or their loved ones in the "True Stories" section of the website.
Having gone through multiple surgeries and chemotherapy, the mesothelioma survivor talks about her faith, family, and the mentality that allows her to persevere. Covering the experience of her initial shock at finding a dark abdominal mass on a CT scan to her eventual chemotherapy and "de-bulking" surgeries, the videos open a window on the inner life of a woman as she struggles with sharing the diagnosis with her family and planning rigorous treatment courses.
"It's the human stories that are the most powerful elements of our Mesothelioma Video Library, and we're excited to add more compelling videos to our growing catalog," says Michael Angelides, a partner at SimmonsCooper. "Being able to connect with other human beings who have experienced the frustration, pain, anger, and indignity that often comes with a mesothelioma diagnosis can provide a hope for patients as well as their friends and families." In 2008, the Mesothelioma Video Library won a WebAward for Outstanding Achievement in Website Development, presented by the Web Marketing Association. The award levels included "Legal Standard of Excellence" and "Medical Standard of Excellence." Sanctioned by the International Academy of Visual Arts, the Library has also won two W3 Gold Awards in the categories of Health and Video or Motion Graphics. All three awards salute the technical and design expertise involved in presenting the serious issues and complications surrounding pleural mesothelioma, within a format that is successful using Internet-based technologies.
