Mesothelioma is a debilitating asbestos cancer, and the treatment can be expensive and difficult for the patient. There are times that feelings of overwhelm are too much, even though you know you must keep a positive outlook to get through the upcoming days. The Mesothelioma Family Resource Center understands how important it is to receive help and support for your mesothelioma. That is why we provide you with updated information on treatments, plus lists of mesothelioma doctors, cancer centers, and support resources. Also, we want you to take advantage of our mesothelioma family advocates to ask your questions and receive guidance.
We also recognize the importance of uplifting, positive reinforcement. Your mental well-being is critical while battling mesothelioma. Therefore, we created a new section to give you hopeful, truthful accounts of others who also have mesothelioma.
The new Personal Stories section is designed to provide you with not only information, but true stories of others who are going through the same issues you face. You will read about others who have struggled through the mesothelioma treatment and continued to live their life to the fullest. How people are overcoming the adversities of mesothelioma, inspiring all of us to continue on and reach our goals.
Our featured stories provide insight into the lives of those who have faced mesothelioma head on. These stories will contain the same issues you face and include challenges from how someone handled the various treatments, to deciding to participate in a clinical trial, to winning a lawsuit, and beyond.
Sharing Your Experience exists because our readers want to hear from you. We invite you to write to us and provide your amazing stories. Whether it is a treatment you discovered, a support group you like, or just an anecdote about how you and your family get by, we want to hear it. Sharing your story may be just the support someone else needs in order to continue their fight.
We believe that focusing not only the physical support and pain management, but the emotional aspects of mesothelioma are critical to the success of your ongoing treatment. Sometimes just sharing your challenges can be therapeutic. Not to mention the amazing benefit others receive by reading your story. It is important to treat the whole person, not just the disease. We believe our personal stories will give you the lift you need.
