Mesothelioma is often thought of as a cancer that only affects older men, but that statistic is changing. Many patients are under the age of 50 and more women are getting diagnosed. This change in the demographic of a mesothelioma patient brings up many issues. Younger patients are in the midst of their careers, starting to a building a family or in the midst of it, and trying to build their finances. These things cause added factors that patients and their families need to work through. This panel discusses those issues.
This panel is moderated by patient, Heather Von St James. Heather is joined by fellow patients Jessica and Loc. All three diagnosed at a young age.
