Mesothelioma is a rare cancer and very few treat it. It is caused by exposure to asbestos particles and affects the lining of the lungs, heart, and abdomen. The average latency period that mesothelioma takes to develop is anywhere from 20-40 years. Since this period is so long, mesothelioma usually affects older adults in their 60’s and 70’s and many patients need help through caregivers and hospice services to ease the toll that mesothelioma takes on their body.
Mesothelioma Guide is an advocacy organization dedicated to helping inform the public about mesothelioma and assisting patients diagnosed with asbestos illnesses nationwide. The organization is dedicated to improving the lives of the members of its community: patients and their families affected by asbestos-related illnesses. Services and resources are 100% free to patients and family members. Mesothelioma Guide specializes in connecting patients with doctors and treatment options that are best suited for them.
