Mesothelioma affects the entire family–not only the patient, but his or her loved ones, too. We hope that the information and resources provided in these pages help you and your family cope with this disease. Here you will find a section for caregivers, those special people who provide basic care for the patient’s daily needs and help them with the tasks of daily living. There is also information about support groups for those with cancer and their families. We also provide some helpful articles about communicating with your health care providers and coping with hospitalization. We hope that the information and resources provided here are helpful to the entire family.
