Your close relative — perhaps even you yourself — has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, a form of cancer newly affecting 2,000 to 3,000 individuals in the United States each year. A thousand questions run through your mind: What is mesothelioma?
How dangerous is it?
How long has my relative got to live?
How will this development impact my relative’s family?
How did my relative contract mesothelioma?
What kinds of medical treatments are available? How successful have they proven?
Are there any nonmedical alternatives?
What have others done in this situation? What can I do?
What choices do I have?
Is there any hope?
Who can help?
Does anyone care?
Yes, we care! We are here to help you overcome the challenges of this new difficulty in your lives. Because we care, we have created this Web site to help you find the answers you need to understand mesothelioma and respond intelligently to the many concerns which will present themselves to you in the coming months. We hope this resource will serve to reassure you that others really do care, that there are answers. There is hope! Yes, mesothelioma is a form of cancer. But — 1) there is no cancer from which someone has not been cured, 2) there are promising new treatments for mesothelioma, and 3) there is growing support of many kinds for cancer patients and their families and friends. Link to a letter of encouragement and advice from Dick Bloch, lung cancer survivor and founder of the R.A. Bloch Cancer Foundation, which seeks to help all cancer patients in the process of successfully conquering their disease. (Your browser will open another window for the letter.) And do not be overwhelmed by the statistics of prognosis! Return to this window and link to an article demystifying the claims of statistics by long-time mesothelioma survivor and well-known professor of natural history Stephen Jay Gould. There is hope!
