When dealing with an asbestos-related illness, or any other chronic illness, it is important to keep your mind active. Make a plan to keep yourself mentally stimulated. Make sure you read, listen actively to music that you love, get involved as much as possible in the activities of normal life, even work if possible — staying "in the world" instead of only in the "world of cancer." Some people keep a journal about their cancer journey, and find this stimulating, as well. If you need memory support, try keeping notes of reminder, and a daily calendar.

Asbestos is a known carcinogen, and exposure to asbestos is known to cause serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis.
