Coping with a Mesothelioma Diagnosis
The Internet is often the first resource newly diagnosed mesothelioma patients and family members turn to for information about mesothelioma. While there are countless websites about mesothelioma, far too few of them deliver accurate, meaningful information.
Each year nearly 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma. It is a cancer caused by asbestos exposure that most commonly affects the lungs (pleural mesothelioma) or the abdomen (peritoneal mesothelioma).
