MESOTHELIOMA

• Why is Mesothelioma Prominent in Seniors?
  
  
  • Public Outreach Department for the Mesothelioma Center (Asbestos.com) is an advocacy group that works to spread awareness of asbestos-related diseases and help those currently suffering from them.
    
    
  • Here are some things we offer seniors that set us apart from other advocacy sites:
    
    
    • A monthly online support group where we discuss a variety of topics pertaining to seniors and their caregivers.
      
      
    • An on-staff doctor and nurse available to answer any medical-related questions that seniors may have.
      
      
    • 24-hour live chat support.
      
      
    • Patient Advocates that work 1-on-1 with seniors to help them find local doctors, treatment centers and support groups.
