Living with Mesothelioma

Receiving a diagnosis of mesothelioma can be devastating to the patient, his family and friends. Living with mesothelioma is never easy. Here are a few pointers for people in the early stages of the disease:

Educate yourself about the disease so that you can make the proper decisions about your care and treatment
Find a support network whether its your friends, a support group, or even a counselor or therapist to help equip you with the necessary coping skills to handle the disease
Plan ahead so that you can take care of your family if and when the disease takes over and leaves you unable to handle your normal daily routine and job.
