Help with Coping

There is no need to fight mesothelioma alone. There are other people who have been recently diagnosed with mesothelioma and many have lived with it for several years. These people can give you strength and encouragement by sharing how they cope with the illness. How do you connect with them? By joining a cancer support group. The following is a partial list of support groups:

• American Cancer Society
• Cancer 411
• Cancer and Careers Support Group
• Cancer Hope Network
• CancerSource
• CaringBridge
• ChemoCare
• Gilda's Club
• Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation
• Mesothelioma Essentials

Weitz & Luxenberg asbestos attorneys have provided asbestos cancer patients with financial help amounting to millions of dollars. This money has helped many asbestos cancer patients pay for the high cost of cancer care, living expenses and support for loved ones.

Choosing a mesothelioma lawyer is an important decision. Many lawyers advertise themselves as "mesothelioma lawyers," but merely refer mesothelioma cases after accepting them. By doing so, the referring lawyer collects a referral fee without doing any work. Here are some things to consider before choosing a mesothelioma attorney:

• Will the lawyer you are considering work on your case or simply refer it? Weitz & Luxenberg works on asbestos cancer cases from beginning to end.
• Does the lawyer have experience with asbestos cancer cases? Weitz & Luxenberg has been handling asbestos cancer cases, including mesothelioma cases, since 1986.
• What kind of verdicts and settlements has the lawyer won? The answer to this question indicates the financial help that the lawyer has provided to mesothelioma patients. Weitz & Luxenberg lawyers have won millions of dollars in mesothelioma verdicts and settlements.
