Dr. Ian Keith Campbell, who while working as a general practicioner at the Heacham Group Practice in Norfolk, England treated the Queen and other members of the Royal Family for over 15 years, died in December after battling a lung disease. A humanist celebration of Dr. Campbell's life was held on January 23rd. The family has requested donations be sent to Bart's Mesothelioma Research Fund. Mesothelioma is a serious cancer that occurs in individuals exposed to airborne asbestos fibers. Even small amounts of asbestos and infrequent exposure can create a risk for contracting mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases. Mesothelioma is highly aggressive and is resistant to many cancer treatments. Currently there is no known cure for the disease.
Bart’s Mesothelioma Research Fund is comprised of a group of medical professionals with a goal to "improve the treatment and increase our understanding of mesothelioma and lung cancer." Bart's is located at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London and is one of the largest outpatient clinics in the UK for patients with mesothelioma.
Doctors at Bart's see two or three new patients weekly as well as patients who have completed treatment and are being followed up. Bart's staff conducts clinical trials for mesothelioma treatment as well as laboratory research.
