This page is dedicated to providing information and resources to the caregivers of people with mesothelioma. If you are a family member or close friend of a person diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may very well be helping to provide for his or her daily care. A caregiver is someone who gives basic care to a person with a medical condition that prevents him or her from independently conducting the activities of daily living. Caregivers of mesothelioma patients may help the person with bathing, dressing, preparing and eating meals, taking medicine, attending doctors’ appointments, paying bills, and attending to other tasks of daily living.
Mesothelioma is challenging not only for the patient, but also for loved ones helping the patient with their daily care. Caregivers also deserve care, support, and resources. This page provides information and resources to help you care for your loved one and yourself, too.
