Mesothelioma Diagnosis and Treatment Help
Are you a mesothelioma patient or caregiver?
We can guide you through the selection of medical specialists and treatments including clinical trials. Join our support community and our information network delivering real-time information about advances in mesothelioma treatment.
When you speak with our on-staff nurse, you can discuss:
- specialist referrals, if needed;
- understanding your specific diagnosis;
- second opinions, if needed;
- clinical trials referrals and planning;
- financial aid;
- support groups enrollment;
- information about educational programming;
- Symposium attendance opportunities;
- and more.
